A Kentucky daycare worker has been arrested after she was seen on surveillance video yanking a handful of hair out of a toddler’s head.
The Leitchfield Police reported that a video captured 24-year-old Kesha Cochran supervising young children in a room on Tuesday. In the footage, she was seen approaching a one-year-old child and pulling the toddler’s hair. As the child started to cry out, Cochran proceeded to walk over to a trash can and dispose of something.
Investigators believe that item to be the toddler’s hair. The child had a nearly 2 1/2 inch bald spot after the incident.
Cochran reportedly admitted she pulled the child’s hair, removing a substantial portion of it, and that she did it intentionally.
She was arrested on Wednesday on a criminal abuse charge.
