Nicole Virzi, a San Diego PhD PSYCHOLOGY student, age 31, flew to Pennsylvania to meet her friend’s 6 week old twin boys.
While she was changing the diaper of one baby, she pinched his penis and scratched his buttocks and scrotum causing him to bleed. She told his parents he was bleeding so they rushed him to hospital, leaving her to tend to the other baby while they did so.
While they were at hospital, left alone with the second twin, she “shook him a couple times – hard. And I dropped him a couple times – hard” resulting in his death. She confessed to everything in the interrogation room even stating she’s had a compulsion to hurt children since she herself was a child.
She’s been in a PA prison since 2024 and pled not guilty. Plea negotiations have been ongoing; prosecutors are seeking trial and the death penalty.
We have an epidemic of female child abusers, folks. Two & half years later and still no trial. Her confession is on video and it’s been deemed admissible.
Which way America??
It sadly is best. I didn’t let my girls do sleepovers at other people’s houses when they were little but I allowed them at mine. I was shocked at how many parents didn’t even feel compelled to talk to me on the phone let alone meet me before they let their child stay over. They’d just drop them off. 🤯
These people weren’t irresponsible like that as far as I can tell. Naive perhaps but this college friend flew cross country to meet the babies. I can’t judge them for thinking she had good intentions in doing that. But it makes your point perfectly- you cannot be too paranoid about who you trust with your children.
