Nanny at Veteran's Park, Culver City, Today

I was running by Veteran's Park (Overland and Culver) at 9am and saw
a nanny with a little girl. The nanny grabbed the girl and spanked
her twice. She was yelling at the sobbing girl, "I told you not to
take your shoes off!" She looked up and saw me loop back towards her
and stopped. I ran over and asked if everything was ok. She
wouldn't answer me and I wasn't sure what to do, so I thought I would
walk into the building and find a phone to call the police (I
remember a Peachhead mom suggesting this), but as I started towards
the building, she took off across the field with the child.

The nanny was in her 40s, short hair, Hispanic, wearing white capri
pants and a grey zip up sweatshirt. The child was between 2-3,
shoulder length dark, straight brown hair, brown eyes. She was
wearing a brown zip up sweatshirt.

I feel like I should have done more, but wasn't sure what else to do.
My nanny is heading to the park now to do recon and see if they came
back and if she can find out her name.
