A Family’s Trust Shattered
For parents, few things are harder than watching their child get hurt in a place that’s supposed to keep them safe. That heartbreak is at the center of a lawsuit recently featured by Concho Valley, where The Button Law Firm is standing beside a family whose 6-year-old daughter suffered a devastating playground injury at Primrose School of Forney.
The family entrusted the daycare with their little girl’s care, believing she would be watched over, guided, and protected. Instead, she was left unsupervised in a dangerous situation that ended with her foot fractured in three separate places.
The Preventable Playground Incident
On July 24, 2024, the girl climbed onto a seven-foot-high railing on the playground. Rather than being stopped by alert caregivers, she jumped, and the fall caused her severe injuries.
As reported by Concho Valley, surveillance footage later revealed the truth. Two caregivers were sitting at a picnic table, one with their back turned to the playground, the other absorbed in an iPad. Neither saw the danger unfold, and neither rushed to help. In fact, another child had to lead the injured girl to the adults, who were seated 15 feet away and unaware of what had just happened.
Her mother shared with reporters the pain of that moment: “Our daughter was seriously hurt and left unattended in pain. No parent should have to wonder if their child is being watched at a daycare center.”
A Disturbing Attempt to Cover Up the Truth
According to the lawsuit covered by Concho Valley, Primrose School of Forney’s failures didn’t end with improper supervision. After the incident, caregivers gave conflicting stories to state investigators, accounts contradicting the consistent statements of the children who witnessed what happened. First, the caregivers claimed they warned the girl. Later, their stories changed. The inconsistencies cast serious doubt on their credibility and raised troubling questions about whether the daycare tried to minimize what really happened.
A Pattern of Safety Violations
An independent state investigation confirmed the family’s concerns and uncovered five violations of state childcare laws tied to this single incident. These findings add to a troubling picture of systemic failures at the daycare and show that the girl’s injury wasn’t just a fluke accident. It was the predictable result of a facility that repeatedly put children at risk.
How The Button Law Firm Is Fighting Back
The Button Law Firm filed this lawsuit to hold Primrose School of Forney accountable for its negligence. As featured in Concho Valley, daycare injury lawyer Russell Button emphasized the bigger picture: “Children deserve vigilant and competent care. This young girl’s injury was preventable and caused by the systemic failures in supervision and accountability at this daycare center.”
For this family, the lawsuit is about more than one day on a playground. It’s about restoring trust, demanding accountability, and making sure other parents don’t have to endure the same heartbreak.

The Concho Valley feature brings attention to an all-too-common reality: when daycares cut corners on supervision, it’s children who pay the price.
