Fortunately for video cameras, mother Ryane Lamb discovered why her 2-year old son had bruises and welts all over his legs when she picked him up from the daycare center. Two employees were filmed beating two small children at Cedar Early Learning Center in Cleveland. Amari Lamb was hit 22 times with a backscratcher, then picked up and hit again 10 more more times.
LiftBump reports,
The welts and bruises covering Amari’s legs were so bad, Lamb took him directly to the hospital for treatment, and then notified the police.
In a surveillance video recorded around 5 p.m. that same day, a 49-year-old employee at Cedar Early Learning Center can be seen striking Amari up to 22 times with what’s reportedly a plastic backscratcher before shoving him to the ground.
Later in the video, the same woman drags and lifts the 2-year-old by one arm, dropping him onto a changing table. Another worker is seen clubbing an 18-month-old girl with a plastic bat the very same day.
Kudos to the daycare owner for having video cameras installed to catch this horrendous treatment. Generally, daycare centers should not engage in corporal punishment — especially if the parents don’t approve. The owner fired both employees and warrants have been filed for child endangerment against the two women. Watch the horrific beating below, it’s so bad it seems it will never end.
