The 29-year-old nanny serving a four-year sentence for injuring a 79-day-old Redwood Shores boy in her care must compensate the parents more than $43,000 for his medical care.
Minerva Martinez Rojas, of East Palo Alto, surrendered her right to be in court Friday for the compensation hearing and leftovers at state prison where she is allocation a four-year term.
Judge Elizabeth Freeman charged Rojas to pay Michelle and Scott Cline, the baby’s parents, a total of $43,277.36, said court records clerks.
Thomas Cline spends weeks in intensive care at the University of California at San Francisco after supporting severe injuries March 16. At Rojas’ September sentencing hearing, the boy’s mother, Michelle Cline, said he will need medical observation for at least six years if not his entire life.
The boy’s family appoints Rojas as a nanny in January after meeting her at the day-care center concentrated by their older daughter. On March 16, Rojas called 911 to report the baby was injured.
Doctors responding to the Redwood Shores home exposed him unconscious and doctors later diagnosed multiple skull fractures and massive brain hemorrhages.
The next day Rojas persisted during a videotaped police interview she did not hit the baby. She finally gave four versions of events, including the child rising and falling off the couch to the carpeted ground 19 inches below, by accident hitting him in the head with the refrigerator door and dropping him after graceful.
Rojas lastly said she dropped Thomas and showed police with a distended animal how she aggressively shook the allegedly unconscious child to wake him.
In July, a jury offender Rojas of abuse but exonerates her of intentionally imposing corporal injury on the child.
The trial argued Rojas shake and throw the boy out of aggravation while her defense countered she fall down the baby after tripping on a toy.
