Less than a month after being fired from the Clearfield Hospital for theft of narcotics, Lynda Kerr engaged in the occupation of babysitter. While being entrusted by a neighbor to babysit her infant child, Ms. Kerr found the time to help herself to a pair of diamond earrings, a gold watch, cash, a gold necklace clasp, medicine and an assortment of clothing. She was charged with Theft by Unlawful taking or Disposition. She was convicted. In an interview with the victim, it was reported that Ms. Kerr fed the infant scalding hot milk causing injury to the child. Ms. Kerr was given only two years of probation and explicit orders from the sentencing judge to “refrain from engaging in the occupation of babysitting.”
