Several weeks after a babysitter allegedly assaulted a 1-year-old Oregon boy, the parents went on social media seeking justice.
Joshua Marbury, the father of the boy, Jacob, said he and wife Alicia Quinney left the child in the care of a family friend for approximately two hours in March, KATU-TV reported. When they got back to their Sherwood home that night, they claimed the child was crying as the babysitter slept on their couch.
“The next morning, he woke up and that’s when I saw Jacob,” Quinney told the station. “The first thing I saw was a black eye.”
Their son was taken to a hospital, and his parents filed a police report.
The infant “was smacked across the right side of his face by our baby sitter (keep this person anonymous) to the point where MULTIPLE doctors (who in fact showed us hand prints) and the detective said it could have killed him,” Joshua wrote on Facebook.
He added that “we had a confession from the abuser saying they did it.”
