A former nurse from Virginia, charged with 20 counts related to infant abuse in a hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, has had her bond conditions altered, allowing her to see her brother’s two children.

According to Fox 8 News, Erin Strotman’s hearing on Wednesday led to a change in her bond terms, enabling her to visit her niece and nephew, both younger than 8 years old.

Strotman’s visits with the children must be closely supervised, with their parents maintaining visual and auditory contact throughout each visit.

During the hearing, Strotman’s defense highlighted that her sister-in-law, who works as a behavioral analyst, is legally obliged to report any suspected child abuse. The sister-in-law provided sworn testimony confirming her commitment to this duty.

Shannon Taylor, the Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney, opposed the bond modification. Taylor said Strotman should have no contact with minors.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, the Virginia Board of Nursing issued a temporary suspension against Strotman, 26, pending a July 23 hearing. Strotman worked in the NICU at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital when several babies suffered bone fractures and other suspicious injuries before her January arrest.

Authorities filed additional charges in March, though the indictments were not unsealed until late April. The indictments outlined a timeline alleging Strotman abused infants over a two-year period.

Strotman began working at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in 2019. According to WWBT, the hospital halted all NICU admissions in December after three premature babies were found with bone fractures. Days later, officials identified seven injured infants in total.

Strotman was placed on administrative leave in September 2023. She returned to work in late 2024 but was fired in January 2025, the day of her arrest.

Strotman faces 20 charges of felony malicious wounding and felony child abuse. Authorities said the charges stem from “unexplainable fractures” found in numerous NICU patients at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in 2023 and 2024, according to Fox 8.

Her trial is scheduled for February 9, 2026.
