Mar 26, 2025
A New Jersey woman is accused of physically abusing at least six babies that she watched in her home day care.
The investigation began when a baby was taken to the hospital after suffering a bruised eye. Investigators said the baby had been in the care of Danielle Ingraham, who runs a day care ou
t of her home on the 300 block of Evergreen Road in Mount Laurel. Police later determined Ingraham had slapped the baby as well as a toddler who she was also watching in her home.
Ingraham was arrested in March 2025 and charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of cruelty to a child under her care.
Then on March 20, 2025, Ingraham was charged with abusing four more children she watched at the day care.
Ingraham allegedly injured a 5-month-old child’s head, eyes, and wrist, leading to the baby’s hospitalization. She also allegedly shook a 7-month-old child, injured the cheek of a 10-month-old child and caused visible injuries to the face and back of a 13-month-old child.
Ingraham was released from custody following a court appearance. Her case will now be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for a possible indictment.
