Greenwich Day Care Worker Charged With Risk Of Injury To A Child: PD

GREENWICH, CT — A Greenwich day care worker was arrested on Sept. 14 after police say videos showed her endangering a 2-year-old child's well-being.

Brittany Lindao, 23, was arrested at her Greenwich home last Saturday on a warrant that charges her with three counts of risk of injury to a child.

Police said the arrest warrant stems from an investigation conducted by the Greenwich Police Department's Special Victims Section into allegations that Lindao had been abusive toward a child under her care as a teacher at Grace Daycare and Learning Center, a day care/preschool on St. Roch Avenue in Greenwich.

"The allegations were brought to the attention of the Greenwich Police Department after the parents of one of the two-year-old children observed the mistreatment of their child on a live video feed provided to all parents by the facility," police said in a news release.

As part of their investigation, Greenwich detectives reviewed archived video footage for the week prior to the complaint being made to police.

"They located three instances in which Brittany Lindao, by way of her physical treatment of the 2-year-old victim in this case did endanger the child's well-being," police said. "While there is no direct evidence that she did, in fact, cause physical injury to the victim, her behavior in all probability would have caused injury to a child of 2 years."

Lindao was able to post a court-set bond of $100,000. She's scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Sept. 30.
