Brockton Babysitter Accused of Abusing, Beating Two Children

Brockton, MA — A Brockton woman was arrested for abusing two 4- and 9-year-old boys over a period of six months, police said.

Nancy Intelisano, 31, faces numerous charges including multiple counts of reckless endangerment of a child, assault and battery on a child under 14, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, indecent assault and battery, suffocation, and threat to commit a crime.

A police report obtained by WHDH details a May incident where the 4-year-old victim broke his arm while jumping on the couch, according to Intelisano. Doctors, however, say the injury came from a forceful push or pull. They also found a black eye, injured stomach, and scratches on the face of the child.

Another incident had Intelisano allegedly throwing the child across a room, taking him to a shower, and spraying his face with cold water to gag him as part of a punishment.

Intelisano is due back in court next month and is being held on $50,000 bail. The case is being investigated by the Department of Children and Families.
