Day care accused of duct taping kids to mats
Posted: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 6:32 PM EDT

A new day care worker was so concerned by what she saw in June that she says she snapped a photo of a toddler who was strapped to his nap mat with duct tape.

That employee of Heart2Heart Montessori Academy in Willow Park, Texas, notified parents and authorities and then quit her position.

The child's parents, Kristi and Brad Galbraith, said they confronted day care co-owner Pamela Decker.

"Once I told her we had photographs, she broke down at that point and started apologizing and admitted to what she'd done," said Brad Gilbraith. The couple filed suit against Heart2Heart Montessori on Tuesday.

According to the Galbraiths' lawsuit, the day care whistle-blower said Decker told her, "Do not say anything about this. I know it's illegal, but (I) felt it was necessary."

Yeah, because everyone needs to duct tape a kid to the floor every once in a while, that's the only way you'll ever get any respect. :Rolleyes:

I guess it could stop tantrums..? Maybe?

Probably not.
