WFAA Features Button Law Firm Case Involving Injured Children, Disturbing Classroom Video, and Ongoing Safety Failures at Frisco Daycare

WFAA Reports on Lawsuits Filed by The Button Law Firm

WFAA recently reported on the second of two lawsuits filed by The Button Law Firm against Kids ‘R’ Kids of Lawler Farm in Frisco after surveillance video revealed troubling treatment of children inside the daycare’s 3-year-old classroom.

For parents, enrolling their child in a daycare is a decision built on trust. Families trust that when they leave their child in someone else’s care, the adults in that classroom will protect them, comfort them, and step in when they are hurt or scared. According to the lawsuits highlighted by WFAA, that trust was broken inside this classroom long before families learned the truth.

The cases focus on repeated physical handling of young children, a pattern of safety concerns, and what happened after daycare management became aware of the conduct.

The Injuries the Daycare Staff Couldn’t Explain

Before the surveillance footage surfaced, parents had already noticed signs that something was wrong.

Children were coming home with unexplained injuries, marks, and behavioral changes that did not match the explanations families were being given. One child involved in the lawsuits suffered injuries connected to repeated physical handling inside the classroom.

According to WFAA’s coverage and the lawsuits filed by The Button Law Firm, video footage later showed caregivers forcefully handling children by pulling, yanking, shoving, and striking them. One video reportedly showed a caregiver forcefully seating a child before appearing to slap the child on the back.

These were not split-second accidents during playtime. The videos captured repeated conduct toward multiple children over time.

What the Surveillance Videos Revealed

The surveillance footage changed everything.

WFAA reported that at least 15 separate incidents involving inappropriate physical discipline and aggressive handling of children inside the classroom occurred.

For families, the most disturbing part was not just what happened, but how normal the environment appeared from the outside. Parents continued dropping their children off each morning without knowing what had already been seen on camera.

As Russell Button, a daycare and child injury attorney at The Button Law Firm, told WFAA, the cases point to a much larger issue than the actions of one employee.

“These cases are all about a systematic failure at the daycare; they fail from the top down,” Russell Button said.

That statement reflects what makes these cases so serious. A daycare’s responsibility is not limited to hiring caregivers. It includes supervising classrooms, responding to warning signs, protecting children, and acting immediately when safety concerns arise.

Daycare Safety Problems That Went Beyond One Incident

WFAA also reported that state compliance records identified more than 30 citations tied to the daycare, including citations connected to corporal punishment, abuse, and neglect.

The lawsuits describe broader failures inside the daycare, including concerns about supervision, classroom management, and the daycare’s response after the incidents became known.

The cases also raise concerns about surveillance footage being deleted after management became aware of what occurred. While WFAA reported it could not independently confirm those claims, the issue has become a major focus of the lawsuits because of the role the footage played in exposing what happened inside the classroom.

How The Button Law Firm Is Holding the Daycare Accountable

The Button Law Firm filed these lawsuits to pursue accountability for the children and families affected by what occurred inside the daycare.

The cases focus not only on the caregivers seen in the videos, but also on the systems that allowed the conduct to continue and the decisions made after management became aware of the risks to children.

When children are repeatedly harmed in a classroom environment, accountability cannot stop at the individual level. It requires examining how the daycare operated, how concerns were handled, and whether child safety was truly treated as the priority it should have been.
