Aiken, SC - A South Carolina woman who operated an in-home day care is headed to prison after admitting she fractured the skull of an infant in her care by striking and throwing the child to the floor.

The Aiken Standard reported Tuesday that 21-year-old Erica Paradise was sentenced to 10 years, suspended to six years and four years probation. The Graniteville woman pleaded guilty Monday to child abuse causing great bodily injury.

Authorities say Paradise admitted she hit the child because the infant had been crying last November. Paradise threw the child onto her hardwood floor, then onto a bed.

Another woman saw the child having a seizure on the bed and the child was taken to a hospital.

The child has not shown any sign of permanent injuries
