A caregiver is charged with endangering the welfare of a child after beating a 13-year-old girl with a phone charger, authorities said.
Gaudencia Serapio, 31, is also charged with two weapons offenses as well as child abuse and neglect, the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday.
The girl had “multiple fresh and raised red welts” on her right thigh when she was checked after police were called to the residence in Passaic on April 17, officials said.
Serapio, of Passiac, was released after her arrest Tuesday. She is scheduled to make a first court appearance on May 10.
Officers Kevin Patino and Kendry Tineo-Restituyo have been charged with violating then-19-year-old Osamah Alsaidi s Fourth Amendment right by assaulting him and then falsifying a report that presents Alsaidi as the aggressor, claiming he initiated the struggle and punched Patino, according to an FBI complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
Here s a look at the night in question as reported by the police and FBI:
First encounter
The incident between Alsaidi and the officers began at 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 14 near Madison and Getty avenues, after two other officers responded to a report of a suspicious man.
Patino and Tineo-Restituyo arrived in an unmarked vehicle to assist the two officers. The encounter ended without incident and all of the officers returned to their cars, according to the complaint.

PATERSON, NJ Two Paterson police officers are facing civil rights and obstruction charges after assaulting a Paterson citizen in December 2020, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced.
Officers Kevin Patino, 29, and Kendry Tineo-Restituyo, 28, both of Paterson, are charged with depriving a victim of his Constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by law enforcement officers and with filing a false police report, the U.S. Attorney announced.
VT: Our sources tell us that this investigation has found not just this incident but dozens of others and widespread corruption at every level of the Patterson New Jersey Police, tying them directly to drug cartels and human traffickers along with Blue Lives Matter extremists. Watch the video that will take down an entire corrupt police department, one of thousands in the US:
No One Believed This Yemeni Teen (Osamah Alsaidi) When He Said Cops Beat Him. Alsaidi was headed to his car to go to work when he was beaten. Cops lied, a video later proved they lied➡️ https://t.co/URB0wXI3Uupic.twitter.com/kor69tOjho headline.kwt® (@HeadlineKwt) February 20, 2021
