KTLA5 Highlights The Button Law Firm’s Lawsuit Over 2-Year-Old Girl Left Outside at Aggieland Country School

KTLA5 Shines Light on Shocking Daycare Neglect Case in Texas

According to a recent KTLA5 feature, The Button Law Firm has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Texas family whose 2-year-old daughter was repeatedly left outside alone at Aggieland Country School, a private Montessori program in College Station. The disturbing pattern of neglect was uncovered during a surprise inspection by state officials, prompting the family to take legal action with the help of our daycare injury lawyers.

Child Left Outside Alone for Crying or Not Sleeping

As detailed in the KTLA5 article, the child’s parents, Gonzalez and Perez, were devastated to learn that their daughter had been placed outside the building, alone and unsupervised, on multiple occasions. According to the lawsuit filed by The Button Law Firm, these incidents were the school’s response whenever the toddler cried or couldn’t fall asleep during naptime.

During a state licensing inspection, a daycare inspector found the little girl locked outside, visibly upset, wearing only a T-shirt and jeans while the temperature lingered around 60 degrees. It was this discovery that finally brought the situation to light.

“Aggieland Country School failed our daughter and our family time and time again,” Gonzalez told KTLA5. “We relied on their promise to create a nurturing and safe environment for children. Unfortunately, our daughter's horrific treatment revealed a much different reality.”

State Cites Aggieland Country School for Eight Violations

The KTLA5 feature further reported that Aggieland Country School was cited for violating eight different minimum childcare standards. Among the violations were the daycare’s failure to supervise the child, lack of immediate parental notification, and missing annual training documentation for staff, including the center’s director.

Even more troubling was that the daycare did not inform the toddler’s parents about the incidents. Instead, they found out through a state official who contacted them to begin an investigation. This clear lack of transparency and disregard for protocol deepened the family’s sense of betrayal.

The Button Law Firm Fights Back

“This was not a one-time lapse—it was a pattern of neglect,” said Russell Button, daycare injury lawyer and founder of The Button Law Firm, in an interview with KTLA5. “For three months, this innocent 2-year-old girl was treated as a problem to be managed, not a child to be cared for. That is unacceptable.”
