A two-year-old boy is currently in critical condition at the hospital after being brutally assaulted by his mother’s intoxicated friend who was babysitting.
Giovanni Reichert underwent multiple surgeries following the incident in which McKinley Sloan Hernandez, 25, was entrusted with his care.
The mother, Stefanie Reichert, received a distressing message about her son’s condition, leading to an emergency airlift to a children’s hospital.
The suspect, Hernandez, had often looked after Giovanni at an unlicensed childcare facility, but the overnight care on September 1 turned tragic.
Giovanni suffered severe head and body injuries, prompting emergency surgery to address a brain bleed. His current recovery remains uncertain.
Despite Hernandez’s admission of drinking, she refuses to acknowledge responsibility.
A GoFundMe page highlights Giovanni’s previous vitality, contrasting sharply with his current critical state.
Hernandez now faces felony child abuse charges after an arrest warrant was issued and her subsequent arrest on Friday night.
