No charges filed in Collier child abuse case

The state attorney’s office will not file charges against a Collier County woman accused of child abuse.

Deysi Acosta, 54, was accused of physically abusing a child at a Collier County daycare.

The incident happened in September and was recorded on an iPad by another child at the daycare.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office says the child was 11 months old at the time.

Acosta faced a felony child abuse charge, but according to the state attorney’s office there was “insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.”
