SAN FRANCISCO -- A shocking case of alleged child abuse is rocking not just the Bay Area, but the nation. A nanny, caught on camera, striking and even throwing an infant, who had just come home from the hospital. Now the baby's parents are speaking out so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

"We all thought we could trust her. Never imagined something like this could happen," said the father, identified as "T," in surveillance video footage.

The video shows baby monitor footage from a Hillsborough couple's home. The parents, who asked to be identified only by the initials "D" and "T," had just brought their baby girl, "H," home from the hospital in late September.

The alleged abuse, they say, was so graphic it cannot be shown on television. In videos, the nanny is seen on multiple nights allegedly striking the baby, shaking her aggressively, and, at one point, throwing her across the room. The child can be heard wailing in distress.

"What struck me overwhelmingly as soon as I read the case was the age of the victim. That's what's so unusual for us," Wagstaffe said.
