Overview
- Ashley Karschnick, 32, is charged with one felony count of child abuse, recklessly causing harm, after an FDLPD investigation.
- The Oct. 13 incident occurred at Lily Pad Day Care in Fond du Lac, and the 3-month-old was later treated at Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee.
- Investigators say video shows the caretaker lifting the infant by the torso and slamming her into a crib, causing the crib to rock and a thump to be heard.
- Medical records describe a minimal displaced spiral fracture of the mid left humeral diaphysis that clinicians reported as consistent with abuse.
- Karschnick denied slamming the child, attributing crib movement to a hip bump, and she posted a $2,500 bond with a no-contact order for children under 12; police are seeking tips.
