MSN Highlights Button Law Firm Case After Toddlers Were Harmed at North Texas Daycare

MSN Highlights BLF Lawsuit Demanding Accountability in Childcare

MSN recently covered a lawsuit filed by The Button Law Firm on behalf of five North Texas families whose toddlers were harmed while attending Camden Hill Montessori in Carrollton.

The coverage draws attention to deeply troubling conduct described in the lawsuit, including toddlers being inappropriately and aggressively handled and punished, yanked by the arms, dropped, pinched, screamed at, and physically treated in ways no child should ever experience in a daycare setting.

This case is about protecting children, holding childcare providers accountable, and ensuring families are never left in the dark when something goes wrong.

The Phone Call That Changed Everything

In June 2025, Camden Hill Montessori contacted the Hernandez family to say their 16-month-old son had been hurt at daycare. The explanation they were given was familiar and dismissive: routine toddler play, kids being kids.

But when the family sought medical care, the injury told a different story. A doctor diagnosed deep bone bruising and suggested they take the young boy to a specialist. The Hernandez family kept asking questions because nothing about what they were seeing in their child felt normal.

When the parents finally reviewed the surveillance video from inside the daycare, what they saw was heartbreaking. The footage showed their child being grabbed by the arm, carried across the room, and dropped.

That moment became the beginning of a broader discovery. Over the course of a week, the footage reviewed in connection with the lawsuit reflected more than 140 separate incidents in which toddlers were inappropriately handled. The lawsuit also describes instances where another caregiver was present and failed to step in or report what was happening.

No parent should have to learn that their child was harmed in a place they trusted to keep them safe.

A Pattern That Should Have Been Stopped

The lawsuit makes clear that this was not an unavoidable accident or a single lapse in judgment. It was a repeated pattern of inappropriate physical handling that continued without meaningful intervention.

The complaint describes additional conduct, including covering children’s mouths while they cried, pulling hair, throwing objects, falsifying incident reports, and other actions that no child should ever endure in a place meant for care and learning.

As stated directly in the lawsuit, “The simple truth is: Camden Hill failed these children. No meaningful monitoring occurred. No intervention took place. No protection was provided.”

Daycare centers are trusted with the most vulnerable members of our community. When that trust is broken, accountability matters.

Preventable Harm and the Duty to Protect Children

MSN’s coverage also highlighted an essential truth emphasized by Russell Button: these incidents were preventable.

Proper supervision, intervention, and safeguards could have stopped this conduct long before multiple children were affected. Daycare facilities must have systems in place to protect children, not explanations after harm occurs.

Camden Hill Montessori shut down in October 2025, but families have made clear that closure does not erase what happened or undo the emotional trauma these children and parents continue to carry.
