A Georgia daycare worker allegedly beat a one-year-old student on his first day of school and then blamed another child, a father has claimed.
Yvette Thurston, 54, of Bainbridge, was arrested on August 11 on child abuse and aggravated battery charges after Clay Weeks was left with a black eye and deep scratches on his face and neck following his first day of school at Little Blessings Child Care.
'This is every parent's worst nightmare and WE had to live it and are still living it,' Clay's father, Cory Weeks, wrote in a Facebook post.
'We were told another child in Clay's class did this type of damage with a plastic toy,' he added.
However, when the father and staff watched the surveillance footage, they found a different story, which eventually led to Thurston's arrest and a temporary closure of the church daycare.
