A Georgia daycare worker allegedly beat a one-year-old student on his first day of school and then blamed another child, a father has claimed.
Yvette Thurston, 54, of Bainbridge, was arrested on August 11 on child abuse and aggravated battery charges after Clay Weeks was left with a black eye and deep scratches on his face and neck following his first day of school at Little Blessings Child Care.
‘This is every parent’s worst nightmare and WE had to live it and are still living it,’ Clay’s father, Cory Weeks, wrote in a Facebook post.
‘We were told another child in Clay’s class did this type of damage with a plastic toy,’ he added.
However, when the father and staff watched the surveillance footage, they found a different story, which eventually led to Thurston’s arrest and a temporary closure of the church daycare.
‘Nothing we saw was for the faint-hearted, especially happening to such an innocent soul,’ Cory wrote.
Clay, whose three-year-old brother Wyatt also goes to the daycare, was rushed to the hospital to be treated for his injuries.
‘Clay received the best care while we were there,’ the father wrote
When did one year olds start attending school?
WTF difference does that make? A kid was beaten by a person who was supposed to be taking care of him! School, Daycare, etc. really is not the point !
That is a terrible picture, but he does look older than one. yvette should never ever be trusted with a child again, and should be sterilized to prevent her from reproducing, plus time in prison for her criminal behavior.
Never allow your children or other family members near the ignorant, feckless animals.
