Several viewers have sent KATC screenshots of a Facebook post in which a mother alleges her child was injured by a babysitter.
In the Monday post, the mother states she called police. She includes numerous photographs of her child's face and screenshots of what appears to be a text exchange between the mother and the babysitter. She states the babysitter says the child fell.
