Nanny Accused of Burning Child in Danbury Expecting Baby

The Danbury nanny accused of intentionally burning a three-year-old girl is pregnant, the News Times reports.

According to the paper, Lidia Quilligana, 31 wants to get out of jail to seek medical treatment.

Her attorney filed a motion on Tuesday asking the court to reduce her bail so she can regularly see the doctor as she has a history of “risky pregnancies”, the paper reports.

Quilligana pleaded not guilty to the charges and will return to court on Friday.
