HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A Henrico Doctors’ Hospital NICU nurse has been arrested and charged with child abuse and malicious wounding, Crime Insider sources tell Jon Burkett.
Erin Strotman, 26, of Chesterfield County was arrested Thursday. She is charged with one count of child abuse and neglect, and one count of malicious wounding in connection to an incident that occurred in November 2024.
This comes days after we reported that Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor confirmed that her office had reopened a 2023 case involving a baby that experienced a fracture while in the NICU at Henrico Doctor’s Hospital.

In a shocking turn of events, a Henrico hospital NICU nurse has been charged with child abuse and malicious wounding. The nurse, who has not been named, allegedly caused severe harm to a newborn under her care.
This disturbing incident has left the community in shock and disbelief. Nurses are supposed to be trusted caretakers, especially when it comes to the vulnerable and helpless infants in the NICU. It is truly heartbreaking to think that someone in a position of authority and responsibility could be capable of such heinous acts.
The hospital has released a statement expressing their shock and disappointment at the nurse’s actions. They have assured the public that they are fully cooperating with law enforcement and conducting their own internal investigation to ensure the safety and well-being of all patients.
Our thoughts are with the infant and their family during this difficult time. It is our hope that justice will be served and that steps will be taken to prevent any future incidents of this nature from occurring.
