According to the Lake City Police Department, the investigation started on April 20 when officers responded to Wee Care Too for reports of an unresponsive infant.

The baby ended up having to be rushed to the hospital for an emergency procedure, where police said the medical team determined the child had suffered a skull fracture, brain bleeding and detached retinas.

As of Monday, the baby remained in the pediatric ICU.

The day care provided Lake City officers with surveillance video, which they say showed an employee, later identified as 30-year-old Alyssa Thompson, roughly handling the baby, including throwing and slamming the girl down multiple times, causing her to hit her head.

According to Thompson’s arrest report, a doctor determined the baby’s serious injuries were a result of her abuse after viewing the video.

Medical staff said it was likely that the baby would have lifelong issues as a result of the injuries sustained.

On April 20, the detectives said he observed Thompson forcefully toss the infant into a bouncy chair, causing the baby’s head to strike a metal bar. About 20 minutes later, the detective wrote, Thompson “snatched” the infant from a crib and dropped her onto a changing table from a significant height, causing the baby’s head to bounce off the table multiple times.

“After Alyssa finishes changing [the infant] and when she picks her up off of the table [she] appears to be limp and not moving,” the arrest report states. “She seems to notice something is wrong and runs out of the room seeking help.”

Footage from April 13 showed additional incidents, according to the report.

The report further states that Thompson was observed hitting the back of a seat the baby was placed in, shaking the infant’s arm “very hard,” smacking and hitting the baby’s legs, and kicking the seat with the bottom of her foot in apparent attempts to get the infant’s attention or a response. A doctor identified in the report as Medical Director of the Child Protective Team and the emergency room doctor at the Gainesville pediatrics hospital, told investigators the infant sustained a skull fracture, detached retinas, bleeding behind the eyes and significant bleeding on the brain.The doctor reviewed the surveillance footage provided by investigators and determined the physical abuse over the period of time documented was the cause of the infant’s injuries, according to the report.

“It is a very strong possibility that [the infant] will have lifelong medical issues stemming from these instances,” the arrest report notes, citing the doctor.
