When parents and guardians leave their children in the care of daycare centers, they are entrusting those companies with a very serious responsibility.
This trust is something that staff members from the My Little Playhouse Learning Center breached.
A video taken by a laughing employee at the Lubbock, Texas daycare center has gone viral after being posted on social media.
The video shows an incident that was taken during the daycare’s snacktime.
Apparently, a young girl had been refusing to eat, and in order to force her to do so, a staff member grabbed her by the hair and pulled and pushed her fiercely towards the food in front of her on a plate while ordering her to eat.
In the background of the video, the employee recording the cruel, heartless acts can be heard laughing.
Neither of these staff members seemed to have a shred of conscience about them for what they were doing, and it has led some to wonder if this negative treatment was a result of racism from the employees.
It wasn’t until the 17th of January that the video began to spread around the Internet.
Up till then, the poor girl’s family, unaware of what she was going through, continued to drop her off at the center regularly.
It’s unclear how long this mistreatment has been going on.
Shanna Walker, the grandmother of the young child, only stumbled upon the video 20 minutes before she went to pick her up from the daycare center in January.
She was, understandably, furious.
Laquitta Wilson, the child’s mother, and Alice Robinson, the child’s aunt, were both equally fuming.
According to Wilson, this is the first daycare center that she has ever used, as she has always been extremely protective of her four-year-old and three-year-old children.
