In January 2023, the mother of a 2-year-old boy was shocked to see unqualified and untrained workers at a Cypress, Texas, daycare center abusing her son. While watching the live feed of the daycare’s surveillance camera, she watched a caregiver walk over to the toddler, who was sound asleep on his nap mat, and aggressively shake the mat to wake him up.
When the boy’s mother confronted the daycare center about what she witnessed, the worker admitted she intentionally mistreated the boy, acting out of anger.
The little boy’s mother contacted our experienced daycare injury lawyers at The Button Law Firm to get answers and hold the Cypress facility accountable for intentionally harming her son. Our lawyers got justice by securing a settlement for the young boy and his family to cover expenses ranging from medical bills to psychological resources to help the young boy heal from his injuries and move forward.
How the Cypress Daycare Center and Its Workers Were Negligent
In this case, the Cypress daycare center failed to follow several of the state’s safety laws that are meant to protect children, like this little boy, from experiencing abuse at the hands of a caregiver.
The infractions of the facility neglecting to follow minimum standards included:
- Leaving the toddler in the care of workers who were unqualified and untrained
- Caregivers not demonstrating good judgment and self-control
- Not properly supervising its workers to ensure children are not abused
- Failing to train staff on how to appropriately redirect children
The daycare center also failed to report the incident to the Department of Family and Protective Services and complete an incident report, as required by Texas laws. In addition, the toddler’s mother was not immediately notified of the incident. Luckily, she witnessed the inappropriate events and sprung into action to get her son.
How The Button Law Firm Got Justice for The Little Boy and His Family
After helplessly watching her son be abused by workers at the Cypress daycare center, the toddler’s mother rushed to the daycare center and took her son to an urgent care facility to have him examined and evaluated to find out if the violent shaking incident caused him any harm.
In addition, the little boy was understandably traumatized by the incident. Being woken up violently caused the toddler to fear going to sleep. He also suffered from sleep terrors, which would lead to his waking up in the middle of the night crying.
During the day, the toddler suffered extreme separation anxiety and became more clingy to his mom. She reported that her young son would cry when she left a room.
The daycare abuse also took a toll on the boy’s family. Because of how the workers at the Cypress daycare center treated him, the young boy no longer trusted adults other than his parents. Thus, he no longer was able to attend daycare and his mother was forced to quit her job in order to care for the little boy during the day.
Our Houston daycare injury lawyers helped the young boy and his family move forward by securing a settlement to compensate the family for monetary and noneconomic damages. The settlement covered the boy’s medical bills and the resources needed to help him heal from emotional trauma and other psychological impacts caused by the preventable daycare abuse incident.
