The case involving Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, a registered nurse at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, has shocked the public after her arrest in connection with child abuse and malicious wounding of newborns in the NICU.
The investigation began following a series of unexplained fractures in babies, including one involving a victim from September 2023, which was later identified as abuse. Additional similar incidents from 2023 and 2024 have since been linked to Strotman.
The hospital has since shut down its NICU to new patients, implemented stricter security protocols, and is working with police to thoroughly investigate the incidents.
Authorities have requested the public’s assistance as the probe continues, with more charges potentially forthcoming.
Families whose children were involved have been notified, and the investigation remains ongoing, with police reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance footage.
While Strotman has no significant criminal history, the charges against her stem from a string of disturbing incidents that have left parents heartbroken and searching for answers.
