An Oregon family said that a babysitter suspected of assaulting their 1-year-old son has been arrested.
Markell Deon Hilaire, 27, was arrested for criminal mistreatment and assault charges---a few weeks after the child’s parents, Alicia Quinney and Joshua Marbury, posted a picture of the boy, who appeared to suffer bruises and other injuries, on Facebook.
The parents demanded action from authorities to take action on the alleged mistreatment of their child.
The Sherwood couple said they came home to find Hilaire, a family friend they trusted, asleep on the couch. The baby, Jacob, was crying on the floor in his room, KPTV reported. Jacob woke the next morning with injuries---including a hand-shaped bruise---all over his body and face.
