Baby sitter gets probation for endangering 2-year-old
A woman who authorities say left the 2-year-old child she was hired to baby-sit alone and concocted a story about being kidnapped and stalked has been sentenced to probation.
The Salem News reported that Lisa Dibiasso was sentenced Thursday to a year of probation and has been barred from working with children after a judge continued a charge of child endangerment without a finding.
If Dibiasso complies with probation conditions, including counseling, the charge will be dismissed.
Dibiasso was hired by a Danvers woman who saw her listing on a child care website.
Authorities say Dibiasso was spotted several times leaving the home without the child, and when confronted by police, claimed she had been kidnapped or stalked.
Her lawyer said jealous neighbors who lost the baby-sitting job falsely accused her.
