Family in Danbury child burning case faces more hurdles

DANBURY — As the case against a nanny facing numerous counts of child abuse slowly moves through the court, the three children she is accused of beating and burning remain on a long road to recovery, according to a family friend of the victims. The 32-year-old Danbury resident was arrested March 27 after she was seen on video force-feeding the older child, slapping her and knocking her to the ground, jumping on her and pressing her hands and leg to a stove burner, according to court records. Prosecutors recently finished reviewing the nearly two weeks of footage preceding the March 27 incident and have charged the nanny with a total of 23 counts of risk of injury to a minor and one count of first-degree assault, all felonies. Court records do not detail the abuse seen through the older footage, but Senior State’s Attorney Deborah Mabbett said in May that Quilligana once sprayed some sort of liquid substance, possibly a nail polish remover, inside the 3-year-old’s mouth and ripped hair out of the children’s heads.
