Lipsky bonded out jail on those charges just a few days later.

Detectives were later able to get surveillance footage from Lipsky’s camera system. On the video, detectives say they saw several acts of abuse against multiple children over the course of a week.

They have not commented on what was shown on the video.

From what they found on that video, detectives were able to arrest Lipsky again and charge her with 17 counts of cruelty to children on Wednesday.
