In nearby Nashville, a woman remains jailed in lieu of $250,000 bond following her arrest Sunday on a grand jury indictment charging her with nine counts of attempted aggravated child abuse and two counts of aggravated child neglect in connection with her physically assaulting a 13-month old boy she was babysitting.

During a three hour period on July 31st, Briana Campbell, 24, was recorded on a home security camera throwing the child on a couch, smothering him with pillows, carrying him upside down by the ankles, and repeatedly striking him in the head and body. The child was taken to a pediatrician where he was examined. Fortunately, the boy did not sustain any serious physical injuries.

Youth Services detectives in Nashville are seeking the public's assistance in identifying other possible victims as Campbell is known to have babysat children in the recent past. Anyone with information is urged to contact Youth Services Detective Brett Kenney at 615-862-7471.
