‘She Exposed My Child to That Type of Torture’: Outraged Mom Says Daycare Worker Taped 2-Year-Old’s Mouth Shut and Tried to ‘Cover Her Tracks’
A Massachusetts daycare worker is facing charges after the mother of a 2-year-old filed a police report, claiming the worker taped her daughter’s mouth shut.
On Thursday, Feb. 16, Nyasia Holmes, the child’s mother, reported that Amy Li of Here We Grow Day Care in Randolph taped her daughter Kaiya’s mouth shut because she was having a tantrum and the caretaker didn’t want her to disturb the other children.
Boston 25 News reports Holmes filed a report with the Randolph Police Department. The 26-year-old caretaker faces charges of reckless endangerment of a child and assault and battery and has been issued a summons to appear in Quincy District Court at a later date.
Holmes, who also filed a report with the Department of Children and Families, said she wants to know why she reported what she says her daughter experienced to the police, but the daycare didn’t.
Holmes took to Facebook to tell her story, saying Kaiya had been going to the facility for a year before the incident. Holmes also noted she was mortified when she learned what happened to the child on that particular day.
“I was informed by the person who did this to my child that she put tape on my child’s mouth in a playing manner,” Holmes said, adding that “another person witnessed this” and that Li only told her what happened because someone else had seen the incident and complained about it, and that Li was ” … she informed me … what actually took place to my child [and] [Li by telling me] was “trying to cover her tracks.”
She continued, “I then called the other party and got the actual story she had my child in a thinking chair with tape on her mouth because she was having a tantrum and she was going to wake up the other kids every child was sleeping but mine.”
