A 20-year-old woman is charged with two counts of child abuse after video footage revealed her kicking, shaking, hitting and covering the noses and mouths of 5-month-old twin girls while their parents were at work.

McKenna Newell is charged with two counts of child abuse, a second-degree felony. The charges came after her employer, the father of two 5-month-old twin girls, shared video footage with West Jordan Police that depicted Newell abusing the twins.

According to a probable cause statement, Newell is first seen throwing blankets on top of the twin girls while they were crying. After a moment, the probable cause statement says Newell picked up one of the twin girls, shook her and then placed her in a rocker/bassinet.

When the baby continued to cry, Newell shook the rocker/bassinet “aggressively.”

The document states that after the child calmed down Newell later kicked the baby in the rib/leg area several times, finally picking the baby up and aggressively sitting her on the couch, “causing her head to bounce forward.”

The probable cause statement says Newell also kicked the second baby several times as the baby laid on the floor, before picking the second baby up and placing the baby on her lap.

Video footage allegedly also showed Newell hitting the first baby on the baby’s legs, and covering the noses and mouths of both of the babies with her hand.

Police obtained a statement from Newell, who said she was the person in the video, and that she was “frustrated” and “did not know what to do,” and that she did not remember doing the things in the video.

A judge sentenced McKenna Newell, 21, to 30 days in jail and 36 months probation after she pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse. Newell will also have to complete 500 hours of community service.

Newell admitted to abusing the 5-month-old twins during a January incident that was caught on a nanny cam their father had set up.

In the video, Newell throws a blanket over one of the crying children. She then picks up and shakes the infant before placing her in a crib.

Shortly after, she removes the baby, holds her until she stops crying, then places her on the floor next to her sister. When the child starts to cry again, Newell begins to kick her in the ribs and legs. Newell then is seen kicking the other child.
