Virginia Babysitter Who Abused Family Friend’s Toddler Gets 1-Year Jail Term After Video Evidence

Extensive home-surveillance video convinced the judge the case documented a sustained pattern of neglect.

Overview

  • Judge James Updike found Carly Rae Webb guilty on all 17 counts on March 10 after prosecutors played hours of interior camera footage.
  • Webb was ordered to serve 12 months in jail with three years of probation, with additional time suspended across felony and misdemeanor counts.
  • Video showed the under‑2 child going up to 21 hours without food or water and being left in a crib for up to nine hours on some days.
  • Footage captured Webb taunting and cursing at the toddler, throwing out prepared food, eating in front of her, and simulating a shooting with a toy gun.
  • The parents said they discovered the abuse only after an offhand remark prompted them to review their home cameras; Webb had earlier pleaded guilty to 5 of 17 charges in 2025.
