Criminal Hearing Scheduled for Danville Babysitter Accused of Unauthorized Breastfeeding

PR Newswire

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, Calif., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A critical court hearing is set for Monday, June 9, 2025, at 9:00 AM at Contra Costa Superior Court, 725 Court Street, Martinez, CA 94553, Department 10, in the case of Brooke Skrabo, a 25-year-old babysitter accused of breastfeeding a 10-week-old infant without parental knowledge or consent while caring for the child in Danville, California.

Skrabo faces two misdemeanor charges under Court Case No. 01-24-01672:

  • PC 273a(b) – Cruelty to a Child by Inflicting Injury / Endangering Health

  • PC 242 – Battery

The incident came to light after the infant's parents discovered security footage of the act, prompting criminal charges. Over 427 days later (as of June 4, 2025), the case now moves to a pivotal stage as Skrabo seeks mental health diversion to avoid criminal prosecution—an action strongly opposed by the victim's family.

Family Statements & Interview Availability

The parents of the infant are available for soundbite interviews to share their firsthand account and perspectives ahead of the upcoming hearing.

Authorities encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward as the case progresses.

"Our priority is ensuring justice for this child and preventing any future risk to other children," said Moses Castillo, a victim advocate and retired sex crimes detective. "We stand with the family in opposing mental health diversion and advocating for accountability."

Authorities encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward. The assigned Deputy District Attorney, Kristina McCosker, can be contacted at Kristina.mccosker@contracostada.org.
