Shannon Pike Is Not A Suitable Babysitter
February 9, 2008 by impqueen
Sarasota County, FL - Shannon Calvin Pike, 20, fractured a 3-year-old girl’s skull while she was in his care last last month. The toddler had two skull fractures and bleeding in her skull. Pike told police that the girl fell and hit a dresser while jumping on the bed, and that she “also slipped in the tub”. The medical report said that the child’s injuries were inconsistent with Pike’s story. One skull fracture was on the side of the girl’s head behind her ear, which didn’t jive with his statement of how the girl fell. The child also began vomiting prior to her bath, a clear sign that she had already sustained head trauma before getting into the tub. The toddler told investigators that Pike beat her because she had wet the bed, and that he later hit her in the head again.

The little girl’s mother was using Pike as a babysitter while she went to work, a clear indication that Mom needs to pick better babysitters. Everyone knows a 20 year old guy with a felony record and a couple of civil suits for domestic violence needs to be keeping your kid, yeah? The mom said she became suspicious when she returned home and the girl had several bruises on her back, buttocks and face. Yep, that’d do it. He does look a little nicer on his Myspace, but then it hasn’t been updated since 2005. Pike was arrested Thursday and charged with felony aggravated child abuse. He remained in the Sarasota County jail on FridayFriday reviews
with bail set at $100,000. He’s already on probation for felony criminal mischief, so he’ll probably score a probation violation as well.
