The state of Vermont has removed from its website any mention

The state of Vermont has removed from its website any mention of the winner of a 2024 highway safety award after the honoree was charged this week with five counts of aggravated child abuse. The criminal charges against longtime Waterbury resident Lindsay E. Johnson, 32, stem from a “Shaken Baby Syndrome” complaint with a 6-week-old boy while she was serving as his night nanny for a local couple. Johnson, who pleaded not guilty to the felony charges,  had relocated to Utah during the first week of November. The child’s injuries included a brain bleed, two broken legs and a broken rib — all consistent with shaken baby syndrome, Utah officials said.  Judge Richard Mrazik in Summit County District Court ordered Johnson held without bail on Monday after the prosecution said it feared she might flee back to Vermont. The judge also ruled Johnson could be a risk to others, court records show.
