AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - An Akron babysitter pleaded no contest after she was accused of burning a one-year-old girl in her care in April, according to the Summit County Prosecutors’ Office.

53-year-old Kimberly Richmond pleaded to one count of endangering children, a third-degree felony.

“To cause such harm and pain to an innocent child, then fail to get that child medical attention, is despicable,” said Prosecutor Kolkovich. “This child’s life has been altered forever. I hope this conviction can help her and her family continue pushing forward in the healing process.”

Akron Police said the victim suffered second and third-degree burns.
