A self-employed nanny is named after baby twins in her care sustained severe injuries, raising public safety concerns.
Her name is important to reveal, declared Judith Rowe KC. Waters worked without oversight, said Rowe. No employer watched her, and no professional group supervised her.
During twelve days in 2023, harm happened, Rowe found. The judge said hiding Waters’ name is hard to justify. Public safety needs outweighed privacy.
Waters poses a risk to children, Rowe stated. Sharing her name is a bigger safeguard. In October 2023, Waters woke the mother.
Baby X was not well, Waters claimed. Baby X had many injuries including a broken leg, a fractured skull, and seven broken ribs. Twin Y had ten rib fractures.
Waters searched online before telling the mother. Waters looked up “broken leg baby” very late at night.
Police investigated the incidents. Waters claimed all injuries were accidents. The judge oversaw care of the twins. She found the parents did nothing wrong. Waters is a risk to children, the judge decided.
