Indianapolis, Indiana – Many years ago, infant massage was quite the rave. If you’ve never heard of these classes, well I don’t know where you’ve been! Even the local hospital here in the middle of corn country offered them until the instructor realized the “classroom” was not warm enough to strip these babies down and promote a pleasant experience for all. And although the “setting” wasn’t ideal, some of the techniques were well worth spending a morning around screaming babies and crying mothers. With roots in yoga, reflexology, and Indian massage, these gentle strokes for infants were designed to assist the bonding process, a sense of security, and as your infant learns to relax, longer sleeping patterns follow. So I have to wonder if Sarah Scott was adopting her own form of infant massage when she heard a loud pop from the femur of a baby she was watching.

Sarah Scott

Everyone has been stressed at one point in time, right? Well, that’s the excuse Sarah Scott gave the investigator after one of the children she was watching ended up in the hospital with a spiral fracture. In children, a fracture such as this is a huge warning sign for abuse, as it often takes a great deal of twisting and force to create a break. Because the break is helical, these are difficult to treat and heal. So when this 7 month-old baby girl’s x-rays came back, the investigation started…and so did Sarah’s lies.

Allegedly, Sarah Scott (AKA Sarah Gumerson) was changing the baby’s diaper when she bent her foot toward her little mouth and heard a “pop”. Now anyone who has changed a baby’s diaper knows just how freakishly limber those little things can be. But brainiac Sarah also said she noticed the leg seemed a little loose after that. A little loose? Damn straight it was loose. I would think a thigh flopping around would be the first clue that something horribly went wrong.

There were three children in the home driving Sarah to the point of showing her loving nature. I’m not sure since when squeezing, biting, and breaking bones became a method for silencing crying babies but I’m pretty sure she came to the conclusion her actions had the opposite effect. Why in the hell do these idiots think inflicting pain on children is a sure fire way to shut them up? Hopefully she’ll have plenty of time to think about that question and come up with an intelligent answer. I am not holding my breath for the intelligent answer and I wouldn’t suggest any of you try it either.

At this time, Sarah Scott is facing criminal charges for the injuries inflicted upon the three children. Six felony counts of battery to be exact. She’sShe reviews being held on $20,000 bond.
