Finding a daycare that you trust can be an incredibly difficult task for parents who want to ensure their kids get the best care, and won’t fall victim to neglect or abuse.
So when North Carolina mom Kassandra Sharpe needed to send her 1-year-old son Elijah to daycare, she visited 20 daycares in the area before finally choosing the one she trusted the most to care and protect her son while she was at work. And after seeing the class’ teacher with Elijah, she was even more confident about her choice. “I thought she was kind of like a grandmother,” Sharpe said. “I felt very comfortable with him being there.”
Yet that confidence quickly disappeared when she received a message from the daycare’s director about Elijah’s teacher. “When I called her, she said that an incident has happened. And I said ‘what?’ And she said a teacher was aggressive,” she said.
Sharpe could barely believe what the director was saying, but then she saw the center’s security footage, which caught the teacher violently push Elijah into a wooden bookshelf, for herself. “If I had not seen the tape I would have not believed it,” Sharpe said. “I saw that woman take my baby and she threw him into a bookcase.”
And even after the teacher was caught abusing Elijah, the center still allowed her back with the kids the very next day. “We still didn’t know that the abuse took place, but they did,” said Sharpe, who reported the incident to police since she feels the daycare, who ultimately fired the teacher, hasn’t done enough to protect her child and the other children in his class.
