Soooo, Children's World, Greenville blvd…read more As we were leaving for daycare this morning, my 2 year old told me that his teacher, Ms. Keosha, pinched him on his bottom and told him to go to sleep. I went to the daycare, calmly spoke with the assistant director and she asked my son questions. He told her the same thing he told me. They said they would talk to the teacher and call me. In the interim, I contacted DSS to file a complaint and was advised to contact the police to have an official report as this would be considered an assault/abuse. I did that. The police went to the daycare as they stated they would. The director, Michelle, called me and practically scolded me for calling the police. She said that the footage shows the teacher putting her hand towards his bottom and pulling it away quickly. The teacher said she didnt pinch him but she pushed his butt down because it was "in the air" and was wiggling. Pushing his butt down would help him be still to go to sleep . For a good 15 minutes out of the 20 something minutes that I spoke to Michelle, I kept asking that we focus on the investigation rather than the fact that I filed a police report. She basically said that I was the one that called them so I made it part of the conversation. She then proceeded to tell me that since I involved the authorities instead of waiting for her to investigate and call me, effective immediately, he is no longer enrolled in their daycare. We paid them for the month. She would let me know whether or not they will be able to provide a refund. I'm absolutely shocked with this entire situation but I really feel that I did the right thing as a parent. Even if she only pushed his butt down "quickly", laying on his cot awake and wiggling didn't warranted physical redirection of pushing his bottom down to make him lay flat. The fact that she said she observed her hand go toward him and pulling away quickly, to me, suggests it was pushed forcefully if that is what happened. But my child knows the differnce between and pinch and a push. The way the director has handled this is appalling.
