A day care worker in Texas is facing charges after allegedly causing a brain injury to a baby in her care. The worker, whose name has not been released, was captured on surveillance footage bouncing the infant “like a ragdoll.” The incident took place at A to Z Learning Center in Fort Worth.
According to reports, the baby’s father received a call from the day care stating that his child had vomited and was acting unusually. When he arrived to pick up his child, he noticed that the baby was having difficulty breathing and was unresponsive. The baby was immediately taken to the hospital where doctors discovered a brain injury.
The day care worker was arrested and charged with injury to a child, a felony offense. The Texas Department of Health and Human Services has also launched an investigation into the incident. The day care has been shut down and all other children enrolled have been removed from the facility.
The incident has sparked outrage and concern among parents in the community, who are questioning the safety of day care facilities. Many are calling for stricter regulations and oversight to ensure the well-being of children in daycare.
The family of the injured baby has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover medical expenses. They are asking for support from the community during this difficult time.
As the case continues to unfold, authorities are urging parents to thoroughly research and vet day care facilities before enrolling their children. They stress the importance of ensuring that caregivers are properly trained and qualified to provide a safe and nurturing environment for young children.
