The mother of that child told police that the 3-year-old girl’s bedroom is always under constant video surveillance due to her ongoing medical condition, the affidavit said.
In October 2025, the affidavit stated that the mother noticed bruises while changing her daughter’s diaper. She also observed a peculiar bruise that a physician at CHOP suggested could resemble a thumbprint.
The affidavit stated that the mother’s concerns about bruising led her to check the home surveillance videos. In the videos, Desser was seen smacking the child and pulling on the girl’s trach, along with slamming her.
According to the affidavit, police reviewed videos provided by the mother in Bucks County and observed Desser aggressively throwing the child around inside the crib. They also saw Desser smacking the child on several occasions. Additionally, the videos showed Desser sleeping while she was supposed to be caring for the child.
Police also shared that Desser was employed at Dynamic Home Health Care located in Bensalem at the time. NBC10 reached out to the company for a statement, but have not heard back.
Desser is is currently in custody in the Bucks County Jail after failing to post bail. Her next preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 7, 2026.
Police believe there may be more victims.
NBC10 reached out to Desser’s attorney for a comment. We will include a statement once we receive one.
