Kahn’s husband yesterday
said neither he nor his wife would comment and referred all questions to
Kahn’s lawyer, Herbert Rosenberg of Ridgefield, who also refused to comment.
Asked what effect the children’s treatment
has had on them, the father said he “can’t answer that.” An arrest warrant
application in Kahn’s court file describes her treatment of the children as
“potentially harmful physical handling.”
Kahn was hired in October by the parents of
the boy and the Fairfield parents of a 10-month-old girl. The mothers of the
children knew each other and jointly hired Kahn.
The parents told police they became
suspicious when they saw the children’s diapers weren’t changed enough, and
when scratches, bruises and gashes started appearing on the children. When
the parents questioned Kahn about the marks, she couldn’t give them
satisfactory answers, according to police reports. Does this sound
familiar? So they purchased a wireless nanny cam surveillance system.
When police questioned Kahn, she at first
denied she ever hurt the children. When they invited her to watch the
nanny cam videotape at the Police Department, she did so, according to police reports.
Watching herself drop the boy three feet onto
a pillow on the floor, Kahn said, “I dropped him onto a pillow,” police
said. Seeing herself slam the boy’s chest onto her thigh, she said, “Not the
best,” and “Not the greatest.”
Police said Kahn told them she was much
rougher than she should have been and didn’t remember hitting the children.
Well nanny cam don't lie.
