When a California nanny chose to go to the park with a 2-year-old she was taking care of, the fun trip turned into a horror and tragedy right before her eyes. As she was watching the toddler, she noticed a stranger walking towards him. Sadly, she quickly went to the boy’s aid, she soon realized that she was not quick enough and was left both sickened and horrified to discover what was stuck inside the toddler’s mouth.
The nanny and a two-year-old boy she was taking care of went to the People’s Park in Berkeley when the little boy was approached by an unknown woman, who was later identified as Sayyadina Thomas. The nanny looked in fear and terror, as the strange woman suck something into the boy’s mouth before walking away. When the nanny was able to retrieve the boy, she was left horrified to learn what Thomas had done.
The nanny quickly searched in the boy’s mouth to see what was inside but was unable to spot anything. Still, she called the police. After promptly arriving on the scene, officers arrested Thomas who didn’t hesitate to admit to paramedics that she had given the child methamphetamine, according to Inside Edition.
Several onlookers witnessed the incident and were sickened by what had happened. When asked about what they saw, one witness recalled, “She just walked up to him and grabbed him…she just stuck her hands in his mouth.” The man, who only goes by Jamison, added, “It was kind of messed up. She’s not a very good person. She steals everyone’s stuff. She runs around talking to herself. She’s crazy.”
“It’s really sad, that’s what it is. Very sad — along with a lot of stuff that probably happens here in the park,” said Berkeley resident Joanna Garcia. “I was telling my friend about it — just really shocking that would happen, especially a child would be targeted.”
As for the boy who was forced to take drugs, he was rushed to Alta Bates Medical Center where doctors confirmed meth was in his system. Thomas has since been “charged with attempted murder,” according to ABC 7. Come to find out, she has been living at the park for awhile and has even been busted for trespassing, indecent exposure, and probation violations in the past.
