Cincinnati, OH – A 37-year-old babysitter has been charged in connection with allegations of nearly beating an infant to death while the child’s mother was at work. Amanda L. Greger faces two counts of endangering a child and one count of tampering with evidence.

On November 10, staff at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital reported a suspected case of child abuse to the Goshen Township Police Department. The alleged incident occurred at a residence on Woodville Pike involving a 1-year-old girl.

The infant was admitted with “altered mental status” and appeared to have suffered multiple injuries, including blood seeping from her right eye and a diagnosed brain bleed.

Greger was watching the child overnight on November 9. According to the child’s mother, when she returned home the following morning, she found her daughter asleep and later noticed abrasions on the infant’s lip and lethargy.

Greger was reportedly asleep in the same room as the child when the mother found her daughter’s injuries. The babysitter was wearing a hooded sweatshirt covered in what appeared to be blood and vomit.

Police executed a search warrant at the Woodville Pike home and discovered bloodstains throughout the room. The child’s clothing was located in a washing machine, cleaned but still stained.

The victim’s mother confirmed the clothing found was the same her daughter wore prior to sustaining the injuries.

Lindsay Bilby, the victim’s aunt, established a GoFundMe page to assist the family. The page identified Melissa Bilby as the mother and described Greger as a trusted friend.

According to the fundraising page, the child is receiving intensive medical care for her injuries, which include a brain bleed, bruised organs, and fluid accumulation.

In court on Thursday, a judge ordered Greger to remain in detention on a $500,000 cash bond. If released, she must avoid contact with the victim or any other children. Greger is scheduled to return to court on December 1.
