A Disturbing Incident at a Houston DaycareWhat Happened to the Child at Star Kiddos Childcare Center
According to Houston police, the child’s mother contacted authorities after reviewing surveillance video from the daycare. The footage reportedly shows a teacher forcefully throwing the child into a chair, dragging him by his shirt down a hallway, and then throwing him into an office.
The employee was charged with endangering a child. The alleged incident occurred on a Monday, but police were not called until the following day, after the child’s mother became aware of what had happened.
For any parent, seeing footage like this is every nightmare realized. Families trust daycare facilities to protect their children—not harm them.
How the Daycare Failed This Child and His Family
While the criminal case focuses on the employee’s conduct, incidents like this rarely happen in a vacuum. In our experience handling daycare injury cases across Texas, we often find that deeper systemic failures are involved.
Daycares have a legal and moral responsibility to:
- Properly screen and train employees
- Supervise classrooms at all times
- Monitor behavior and intervene before abuse occurs
- Act immediately when a child is harmed
When an employee feels empowered, or is left unchecked, to treat a child with violence, it raises serious concerns about staffing, oversight, and internal reporting procedures. Parents should never be the ones discovering abuse through video footage after the fact.
