Erin Strotman (also reported as Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman) was recently arrested and charged in association with multiple injured babies at a Virginia hospital. Now authorities are piecing together evidence which indicates that the diabolical woman was targeting Black babies specifically.
The New York Times reports that Strotman was working as an ICU nurse at Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond, Virginia at the time of the attacks. Authorities say that at least three different babies in the neonatal ICU suffered mysterious injuries in November and December 2024. Those injuries included bone fractures, which were "unexplained." After a brief investigation, 26-year-old Erin Strotman was arrested and charged with malicious wounding and felony child abuse. Currently the Virginia woman is only being charged for the injuries on one of the infants, but it's believed that she could have more than four.
Sources with the hospital that employed Erin Strotman claim that there were at least four other cases of unexplained infant injuries in the same unit back in 2023. Those incidents are now being investigated in association with Erin's charges.
Erin Strotman's alleged actions ring familiar to other more serious cases of nurses behaving badly. It's fortunate that none of the newborn victims in this case died from the injuries they sustained, but it's likely that this violent psychopath could have graduated to murder had she not been caught when she was.
