What Happened at This Marshall, Texas Daycare?
According to the lawsuit filed by the attorneys at The Button Law Firm, the heart-wrenching events unfolded on August 3, when the 11-month-old girl was allowed to walk outside without shoes or socks on during the blistering summer temperatures. The result: severe second-degree burns, a tragic consequence that the attorneys at The Button Law Firm assert could have been prevented with basic precautionary measures, specifically considering the fact that people in Texas know about how extreme the heat can be in August.
When discussing the situation involving her daughter, Ms. McMullen stated, “I am beside myself that Ms. Anita’s Academic Center took my baby outside without socks or shoes. Everyone knows the Texas heat is dangerous in August, and these caregivers should know infants have particularly delicate skin.”
This lawsuit seeks justice and accountability for Ms. McMullen's child. The importance of the situation is highlighted by the fact that Ms. Anita’s Academic Center closed on August 28, with the decision having been influenced by citations from Texas Health and Human Services. These citations included violations related to caregiver responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of competency, good judgment, self-control, and child abuse and neglect prevention with daycare directors and caregivers.

This lack of communication leaves numerous questions unanswered, showing the significance of legal intervention in holding responsible parties accountable.
