BLF Comments on Infant’s Skull Fracture at Missouri Daycare

A Heartbreaking Situation at a Missouri Daycare

PERRY, MO - According to a recent article from WGEM, a young child was critically injured while in the care of a Missouri daycare. The situation is both tragic and deeply alarming—another painful example of what can happen when those entrusted with a child’s safety fail to provide even the most basic level of care.

At The Button Law Firm, we help families whose children have suffered serious injuries at daycare facilities. While we are not representing the family involved in this incident, we handle similar cases and know just how devastating these situations can be physically, emotionally, and financially. Our goal is always to support families, uncover the truth, and hold negligent daycares accountable.

According to the Article: Infant Airlifted with Severe Head Injuries

In the article, WGEM reports that first responders in Perry, Missouri, were called to a local daycare on Tuesday for a child who was not breathing. The child was airlifted to a St. Louis hospital with a fractured skull, brain bleed, and detached retina, all signs of severe and traumatic head injury.

These types of injuries are not consistent with ordinary childhood accidents. They raise serious questions about what happened in the moments before the child was found unresponsive and whether the daycare was properly supervising and protecting the children in its care.

How The Button Law Firm Helps Families After Daycare Injuries

While we are not representing the family in this case, we work with parents across the country whose children have been seriously harmed due to daycare abuse or neglect. Our team moves quickly to uncover the full picture by:

Investigating how and when the injury occurred
Reviewing incident reports and medical records
Securing surveillance footage and witness statements
Analyzing daycare staffing, safety procedures, and past violations
Partnering with experts to understand the full extent of a child’s injuries

We know these cases are about more than legal action; they’re about making sure this never happens to another child again.

What to Do If Your Child Is Hurt at Daycare

If your child has suffered a serious injury at daycare, here’s what you should do to protect your child and your rights:

Get immediate medical care. Even if the injury seems minor, have your child examined by a doctor to document and treat any harm.
Request a detailed incident report. Ask the daycare for a written explanation of what happened.
Report the incident to the state. File a complaint with your state’s childcare licensing agency to begin an investigation.
Document everything. Take photos of injuries, save medical records, and write down any communication you have with the daycare.
Speak with a daycare injury attorney. An experienced legal team can help uncover the truth and hold the daycare accountable.
