A daycare worker in Maryland has received the ire of parents across the country after allegedly filming herself kicking and throwing around a child in her care.
The Blaze News reports that police arrested the daycare worker for allegedly abusing children.
Kayla Greenwell, of Oxon Hill, was arrested by officers from the Prince Georges County Police Department. Those officers had received several tips from the public about a disturbing video of Greenwell allegedly abusing children left in her care. The 23-year-old daycare worker worked at the Oxon Hill Learning Center, located approximately 50 miles south of Baltimore.
Greenwell recorded herself in the videos she posted on social media accounts. The video reportedly shows Greenwell picking up a small child by the arm and throwing that child onto the ground. Another video supposedly shows Greenwell kicking a chair out from under a small boy causing him to fall.
WTTG obtained the various disturbing videos from a viewer who stumbled upon them. They then passed the videos on to law enforcement with the Prince Georges County Police Department.
The police responded:
PGPD would like to thank Fox5 News for immediately forwarding the video to our Media Relations Division and holding off on airing the video, and Doing so allowed PGPD to begin the investigation and make a quick arrest. PGPD also appreciates the help from the community in identifying the suspect.
Ledarra White told WJLA the following:
I was asleep. It was my day off, and I woke up to [a lot] of messages just sending me videos saying, Isnt this your sons school? Isnt this your sons school?
She rushed to pick up her 3-year-old son from the daycare after hearing about the disturbing videos on social media.
Police charged Greenwell with multiple counts of child abuse and assault for the incident. She remains in custody at the Department of Corrections at this time, according to Blaze News.
There is still an ongoing investigation into this situation, but the suspect is already receiving a lot of anger from parents and others across the country. This incident highly upsets many who saw the video, even those who dont have children in the daycare facility. No one wants to see young children harmed in this way, and it is disturbing to many that this abuse was allowed to occur and that the alleged abuser recorded the incidents as well.
