Mom caught hitting her daughter on camera is charged again after she goes to see the little girl against court orders.

A 20-year-old Wauwatosa woman accused of repeatedly hitting her 3-month-old daughter during an incident caught on video is back in jail after she allegedly went to see the baby against court orders and in violation of bail.

Babcock, then 19, was arrested July 26 and charged days later with four counts of felony child abuse for delivering four hard slaps to her infant daughter after the child's father had stepped out for a few minutes.

Police Reports: Roundup of Recent Incidents

In two burglaries, a locked home and locked garage are entered but investigators find no signs of force.

Thursday A Milwaukee woman reported that some time between 2:10 and 4:10 p.m. someone smashed a window in her car and stole a bag and its contents while she was at Wheaton Franciscan Health Care clinics, 201 N. Mayfair Rd. Her bag contained only an empty purse and miscellaneous work documents. Wednesday At 8:05 p.m., a 33-year-old Fond du Lac man was arrested for possession of marijuana after a traffic stop for an illegal turn in the 2400 block of N. Mayfair Rd. A records check showed the man had five previous marijuana arrests and a total of 19 adult arrests, so the officer called for K-9 officer Addy, the Police Department’s drug-sniffing dog, and uncovered a small stash. The man also had $2,062 cash, which he said was from his “business…

Grandma Leaves 1-Year-Old Alone on Porch While She Goes Drinking

Boy was left alone wrapped in paper towels while grandmother went to nearby bar.

A 45-year-old woman is facing child neglect charges after police say she left her 1-year-old grandson alone on their unlocked back porch — wrapped in paper towels — and went out drinking. The incident happened around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday when the temperature was still in the mid-80s after a day of record heat in the mid-90s. The young boy did not appear to be harmed and was turned over to the custody of the Child Welfare Bureau. The woman, who lived off and on with her boyfriend, would later claim she had only gone to the bar a couple of blocks away from the home in the 2400 block of Pasadena Boulevard to make a quick phone call — and that she had only had one beer. But police say they already knew better than that. According to their …

Shonta, it is wonderful to hear from you after so long, and to know that you were reunited with your son and that he is well. In the days after I wrote and published this story, I thought about you a good deal and wondered what sort of person you might be.
