Fired babysitter leaves toddler on street, naked, cigarette burned, head shaved [View all]

The Hamilton Police Department says 21-year-old Abigail Hanna has been charged with kidnapping, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a child, and breaking and entering.

Hanna is the former babysitter of Lyndon Albers, a 2-year-old who was reported missing early Friday morning.

Albers was found several hours later 8 miles away in Rowley by a couple driving to work.

She was found naked and covered in leaves, according to sources and had cigarette burns on her body. Her head was also shaved.

Albers was first taken to Beverly Hospital where she was listed in fair condition. She was later transferred to Boston Children's Hospital where she is currently being treated.

Lyndon's parents told police they last saw her at around 3am at their home in Hamilton, Massachusetts. They reported her missing at 7am.

She was shivering from the cold and sitting in a pile of leaves with a bruise on her newly shaved head when she was spotted by Tom and Marge Crosby, who were driving to their boutique in Amesbury at the time.

Tom Crosby said it was a 'vision; that compelled him to turn his car around after spotting the child in the road.
'I don’t want to say a vision but that’s what it was — a vision,' he told the Boston Herald. 'I drove by and then quickly it flashed through my head. I said ‘Was that a baby or was it a doll?’'

They couple bundled the child into their car and gave her a blanket as they waited for police.

'She was alert but had a big contusion on her head,' his wife Marge added to WHDH.
