MCKINNEY, TX – Online publication Patch has featured the story of BLF clients after a toddler was left alone in a dark classroom.
What Happened at This Collin County Daycare?
Parents of a three-year-old girl were horrified to discover that their toddler’s caregiver had forgotten her and left her alone in a dark classroom. The caregiver didn’t check to ensure all children had exited the room and simply turned off the lights. The child was left alone for a long period of time until another caregiver found the little girl alone and terrified in the room.
The article shares details from the lawsuit, including an allegation that staff at the Primrose School of Eldorado forged the parents’ signature on the incident report that was written up by the daycare. The parents, Fernando and Cristina Cossich, were unaware of the incident until they were questioned by a state investigator.
The article shares a quote from the family’s attorney, Russell Button, founder of The Button Law Firm. “Primrose School of Eldorado was extremely irresponsible for ignoring safety standards created to prevent incidents like this," says Button, "There was no need for my clients' 3-year-old daughter to endure this trauma. The school made a promise to parents like my clients that it would closely supervise children, yet they forgot about her. We hope this lawsuit prompts Primrose School of Eldorado to finally prioritize child safety after ignoring multiple citations."
In the report from Patch, the lawsuit filed by the Dallas-based law firm also claims that the daycare was cited sixteen times by the state of Texas over a period of five years for several violations, including “not adhering to supervision requirements and employing unqualified staff with incomplete background checks.”
