A 41-year-old man who worked with Florida‘s abused foster children who have yet to be assigned to live full-time with a family has been accused of “aggressively” grabbing and throwing an 11-year-old girl onto a couch, according to police. Bruises in the form of his handprint remained on the girl days later, cops allege.

Cordell Baugh-Samuels faces a child abuse charge. Wildwood police responded April 29 to a Department of Children and Families Kids Central facility for a report of abuse, a probable cause arrest affidavit said.

The girl told cops that on April 24 Baugh-Samuels, her assigned case manager, allegedly grabbed her and threw her on a couch. The girl is a foster child on a “night-to-night” placement, the affidavit said. Cops noted while interviewing that she had two bruises on her left arm “in a finger pattern, indicative of being grabbed with a great deal of force,” the affidavit said.
