Kesha Cochran, a 24-year-old daycare worker, has been arrested and charged after allegedly pulling out a “handful” of a 1-year-old child’s hair.
According to WBKO, on March 11, Leitchfield Police received a report about a 1-year-old child who was injured at a local daycare facility. Surveillance footage reportedly showed that a Cochran had been “monitoring a room of small children when the worker approached the victim and pulled the childs hair.”
Per police, the child “began screaming uncontrollably.” Afterward, Cochran was then seen “throwing something in the trash can, which officers believed to be a handful of hair.” Furthermore, police reportedly determined that the child was left with a “complete bald spot over 6 centimeters of its scalp.”
According to Leitchfield Police, Cochran was brought in to police on March 12. There, she reportedly admitted to “pulling the child’s hair and removing a substantial amount of hair from the childs head.”
“The suspect also stated that she did intentionally pull the hair of the child,” police asserted.
Cochran has since been arrested and charged with criminal abuse in the first degree. Furthermore, police have shared that an investigation into her case is ongoing.
Kesha Cochran is not the only young woman to make recent headlines. As The Shade Room previously reported, Nataly Helen Martins Pereira, a 25-year-old woman in Brazil, has been accused of murdering Emilly Azevedo Sena, a 16-year-old mother. Additionally, Pereira has been accused of luring Sena to her home and cutting her unborn child out of her womb.
Afterward, Pereira then reportedly tried to pass the child off as her own.
