Georgia lawyer files child abuse lawsuit against day care center in Cobb County
A lawsuit has been filed against the staff and owners of Great Expectations Child Development Center in Kennesaw, Georgia for locking a 4 year old girl in a bathroom and sitting on her.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution has the story.
The lawsuit specifically alleges that a teacher locked the girl in a bathroom over a toilet accident, and that the girl was hit in the head with the bathroom door when she tried to exit the bathroom. According to the lawsuit, the same teacher and the center’s director also sat on the girl several times in order to keep the girl on her sleeping mat. On a separate occasion, the girl was allegedly taken to a mop room where she was stripped of her clothes and sprayed with a hose.
A 5 year old boy was also allegedly chocked and locked in a bathroom by the same teacher.
The teacher named in the lawsuit, Monica Hollins, was arrested in December by Kennesaw police and was charged with reckless conduct and simple battery.
The parents of the girl are seeking at least $2.5 million for medical and psychological treatment.
