New York Post: “NY night nurse caught on camera slapping, shaking 5-week-old preemie, ” 30-day jail sentence

Sharing is Caring!

A Brooklyn night nurse was slapped with a 30-day jail sentence Monday after she was caught on camera slapping and shaking a premature newborn inside a Westchester County home last year, prosecutors said.

Gwendolyn Blake was also handed three years of probation and effectively shut out of most nursing jobs during that timespan for hitting the 5-week-old boy as the victim’s parents decried her “violent” and a “significant risk” to other families.

Blake, 40, was supposed to care for the Town of Mamaroneck’s family’s newborn on Aug. 30, 2023, when she struck the baby as he cried, the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office said.

“This is a preemie who is colicky because of his low birth weight and instead of being treated with love and compassion,
he was abused for being in pain”

The sickening violence dragged on the following day when the cruel nurse repeatedly slapped the child’s face, grabbed his head and shook him, prosecutors said.

Both despicable incidents were captured on surveillance video.
