DALLAS - A nanny was caught on tape spanking a five-month-old baby girl, Dallas police say. Now the nanny, who is also in this country illegally, is facing charges.

Officers arrested 51-year-old Martha Castillo on Wednesday after her employers called 9-1-1.

Once police showed up at the home in Dallas' M Streets, the baby's parents showed them a tape from a hidden camera.

Police say the video showed Castillo swatting the infant on the buttocks, causing pain.

Castillo was arrested for injury to a child, and is also being held on immigration charges.
