Daily News Leader, Thursday, January 12, 1995 Waynesboro woman charged in child abuse case By LISA ROCKWELL Staff Writer WAYNESBORO Following a joint investigation by the Waynesboro Department of Social Services and the Waynesboro Police Department, a Waynesboro woman was arrested and charged Wednesday in a babysitter abuse case. Beth Renee Landes, 35, of 2217 Forest Drive, was arrested and charged for her alleged involvement in the incident which occurred Dec. 15, 1994, Waynesboro police reported. The charge alleges that Landes "maliciously caused bodily injury, to a minor child which caused her to suffer permanent and significant physical impairment," according to a department report. At about 11:24 a.m.

Dec. 15, Waynesboro First Aid Crew responded to a 911 call for service to 2217 Forest Drive, where a child was reported to have fallen, the report stated. The crew transported the child to Augusta Medical Center for treatment and after initial treatment, was transferred to the University of Virginia Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for further treatment, the report stated. Council The 4-month-old child has since been released from U.Va. and is recovering at her parents' home, the report indicated.

Waynesboro police did not disclose the name of the victim nor the parents. The investigation into the incident concluded Tuesday and resulted in a charge against Ms. Landes, who was the caretaker of the child at the time of the injury. Ms. Landes was providing a babysitting service for the child's natural parents at the time of the injury, the report stated.

The charge is based on a medical report that states the injuries suffered by the child were caused by shaking. Injuries to the child included bruising, possible blindness and possible permanent brain injury, the 1 report stated. The warrant was issued at 1:22 p.m. Wednesday and was served at about 2:15 p.m. the same day.

Ms. Landes turned herself in at the police department and was released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond by a magistrate. Ms. Landes' next court appearance will be on Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Waynesboro Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, the report stated.

Wednesday, however, residents on both sides of the issue continued their fight. "The annexation was done to provide a larger tax base and development. Without the sewer line, there will be no development, no larger tax base," said New Hope Road resident Jerry Meeks.

"My biggest concern is how can percentages overrule the recommendations of the health department. The health department said there is only really one way to correct this, and that is putting the the sewer, is there form we can fill sewer line in. If we're re not going to get out to secede back to Augusta County?" Warner Mills, on the other side of the issue, said he was not opposed to sewer line extension, but was adamantly opposed to the city's mandatory hookup provisions. "As long as there is mandatory hookup, there is going to be opposition to this Mills said. "Those people who are having problems with their systems are entitled to some form of help from the city.

Those who do not will go along with their own systems. In the meantime, serious thought should be given to running sewer to the area without the stipulation that connection i is mandatory. That's the big problem here." The mandatory hookup provision has been part of the city's ordinance for many years. By delaying action on the matter, Avoli said he hoped to gain more information about the location of the Virginia Department of Transportation's New Hope Got a news tip?

"This group has suffered slings and arrows of an awful lot that's going on here. In our effort to do something good, a polarization occurred. That was never the intent of this council. We made a good-faith effort to get a consensus. The situation here is not good at this point.
