Mother didn't want to believe friend and coworker Patricia Kreiner molested 2-year-old daughter

The mother of a 2-year-old girl said in court Wednesday she was hesitant to believe her coworker and friend could have molested her daughter. The mother was the first witness called to the stand by Bay County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Nancy E. Borushko in the trial of Patricia M. “Missy” Kreiner. Kreiner, 30, is charged with one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim younger than 13. The charge is a felony punishable by up to life imprisonment. “She said, ‘Missy touched my butt,’” the mother said of her daughter. “I kind of brushed it off. She was still potty-training at the time and I didn’t want to believe my friend would do something like that.” The mother said she worked with Kreiner for some time at an area restaurant. Kreiner was her manager and occasionally baby-sat her 2-year-old daughter for overnight spans. After picking her daughter up from Kreiner in early March, the mother went to give her a bath and found what she described as a 1-inch long stripe blood in the front of her daughter’s pull-up diaper.
