Babysitter Charged After Child Injured in SUV Incident

Maria Santiago, a 55-year-old babysitter from Clinton, Connecticut, has been arrested after a tragic incident where a 2-year-old boy fell out of her moving vehicle and was run over. The child opened the unrestrained rear passenger door while Santiago was driving, leading to serious injuries. On the same day, Santiago left three other young children home alone with food cooking on the stove, raising further concerns about her childcare practices. She faces multiple charges, including risk of injury to a child and failure to secure a child in a car seat. Santiago turned herself in and was released on a promise to appear in court. The condition of the injured child remains unclear as investigations continue.
