[转帖]Ginger Spice's Child Abuse Claims

Geri Halliwell

If you wannabe her nanny, you can't be pulling stuff like this.

Erstwhile Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell filed a complaint with London's Metropolitan Police last month, alleging the singer's former nanny physically abused her three-month-old daughter, Bluebell.

Scotland Yard has confirmed it has launched a probe of the allegations, which were filed Aug. 18.

"Officers from our Child Abuse Investigations Unit are investigating and inquiries are continuing," a spokesperson said in a statement Monday. "There have been no arrests.

"We emphasize that the allegations of abuse are of a physical and not sexual nature."

The 33-year-old pop star's personal assistant, Antony Read, issued a statement Monday confirming that the former Spice Girl had lodged a complaint regarding "an incident concerning her daughter Bluebell while in the care of a temporary member of staff.

"Bluebell is now happy and well, and there are no further concerns for her welfare," Read continued. "The matter is now under investigation by the police and therefore we are unable to make any further comment."

Per a report in the British tabloid News of the World, the incident took place while Halliwell was staying with two friends at the Liphook Golf Club, a luxury cottage retreat in the English countryside. The "Wannabe" singer purportedly took a brief stroll around the estate and returned to find her three-month-old "bruised and bawling." The bruises were reportedly on the baby's arm and were not considered serious.

The nanny, whose name was not released, was believed to have been a temporary worker while Halliwell searched for a permanent caregiver.

The fiery-haired songbird gave birth to Bluebell Madonna in May and debuted her baby at a Prince's Trust event hosted by Prince Charles in August.

Halliwell has opted for the single-parent route after a falling out with her baby daddy, 40-year-old British screenwriter Sacha Gervasi. Among more forgettable credits, Gervasi was responsible for unleashing The Terminal on an unsuspecting public and has a hand in the forthcoming star-studded Dallas movie.

The former twosome managed to meet, conceive and bitterly separate within a period of just six weeks earlier this year. As part of the bitter, and rather public, feuding, the screenwriter's name was left off Bluebell's birth certificate after he failed to be present for her delivery. However, they reportedly have gotten back on speaking terms in recent days, with Halliwell finally allowing Gervasi meet his daughter.
