In December 2021, a 2-year-old boy was inappropriately disciplined by a daycare worker in Dallas. The boy was picked up by the arm, isolated from the rest of the children, and had food withheld with him as a form of punishment. The toddler’s mom decided to watch the daycare’s livestream. She was horrified when she observed the daycare workers ignore her son when he asked for food and water, push his head aggressively into a pillow, and grab the toddler by one arm to move him from a table.How The Button Law Firm Helped This Family Move Forward
As one can imagine, the 2-year-old boy in this case suffered significant psychological abuse from the abusive treatment that he experienced at the Dallas daycare center. The boy experienced behavior changes from frequent outbursts to instinctively ducking his head as if he was going to be hit when approached by an adult and yelling, “Don’t hit me,” in his sleep. He was treated by two different doctors, one who diagnosed the 2-year-old with post-traumatic stress disorder preschool subtype. The doctors recommended ongoing play therapy to help him process the trauma and heal.
The boy’s mother was also forced to resign from her job to help her son seek treatment and continue his recovery journey.
The Dallas daycare injury attorneys at The Button Law Firm fought for this family and held the daycare center accountable for the inappropriate discipline methods responsible for this boy’s trauma. The little boy and his mom received monetary compensation to cover medical expenses and provide necessary resources to help the toddler heal.
