What Happened at This Desoto Daycare?
According to the article from WFAA, the incident occurred on the morning of January 10, 2024. A set of DFW parents were notified that their 4-year-old son was hitting and kicking a teacher. The article shares that the child’s mother went to the school to pick up her child – where they had her sign an incident report. But before they left the school, the mother found out, from her young son, that the teacher had been hitting the child. The mother then talked to the owner of the daycare, saying that she wanted to see video footage of the incident.
That’s when she found that her son was being grabbed by his arm because he didn’t want to sleep during nap time. The caregiver carried the young boy to the school’s office under her arm. When they got to the office, the young boy’s arm was being pulled behind his back by the teacher - then dragged using his blanket. That’s when he retaliated and tried to hit the teacher – in response, the teacher knocked the child down to the floor.
According to the child’s mother, the daycare knew that the child had ADHD, but did not treat the child with care to accommodate his disability. The mother has expressed that her son was traumatized after suffering from this incident of abuse.
