Prospect Lefferts Gardens day care shut amid 'horrific' child abuse allegations

[Xanthous Xenom]

Man... this is just heartbreaking . I mean, who lets an employee record all this stuff? It's like they were just waiting for something bad to happen so they could cover their tracks. And the fact that the owner didn't do anything about it until she saw those videos herself? That's not leadership, that's just inaction.

I'm also really frustrated with how little parents were told about the investigation. Just days before the center closed its doors... what a complete failure of communication. They should have been warned weeks ago and given a chance to make things right.

We need better oversight, period. Childcare providers are supposed to be holding children, not causing them harm. It's just basic human decency . We can't keep letting this happen and expect things to get better on their own. Something needs to change, and fast .

Oh man, this is soooo sad . How can anyone be so cruel to little ones? It's just not right. The daycare center should've been shut down a long time ago . Parents deserve to know what's going on in their child's care . It's not just about the children, it's also about the staff who are traumatized by this . We need more support for them too . The city needs to take action and make sure something like this never happens again . Let's keep our little ones safe and happy

my gut tells me these vids are legit but what's really going on here? why didnt the staff member report it sooner or the owner take action when they got warnings? seems like a whole lotta people knew something was up but did nothing about it... this shutdown is a step in the right direction, but we gotta make sure that other places are held accountable too maybe its time to rethink our childcare system and make it more transparent?

seriously how can u just leave kids unattended in a bathroom or on the floor of an apartment kitchen? thats so wrong on so many levels...the fact that they were just ignored like thats no big deal is just infuriating. u gotta take care of these little humans they r dependin on u 4 safety n stability...i cant believe eva crèche daycare center owners didnt do anything 2 prevent dis abuse or protect their staff...thats negligence at its finest

 

[Poor Piran]

man, this is so messed up the fact that they let an employee record these videos without taking any action is insane. it's like, basic human decency should be enough to prevent child abuse from happening in the first place. and now the owner is denying anything happened and claiming she didn't know about the videos... that's just not believable

the city needs to take a closer look at how childcare providers are licensed and regulated. it's clear they're not doing enough to protect the kids. and what's with the parents being in the dark about the investigation? shouldn't they be informed ASAP when something like this happens?
