A 32-year-old daycare worker has been caught in disturbing footage manhandling a two-year-old boy and broke his leg as other horrified toddlers watch.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Las Vegas nanny, Elicia Miller, was charged with child abuse for the May 2021 altercation at Creme de la Creme daycare, which saw her pick up the unidentified child and slam him to the ground, grappling with him until his leg snaps. The video was first obtained by the 8 News I-Team.
Miller, however, will not serve jail time for the incident, after confessing and pleading guilty to attempted child abuse in June, receiving only probation, 50 hours of community service and an anger management class as a result.
The child’s parents, who have decided to stay anonymous amid media coverage of the incident, are suing the child care staffer and daycare for negligence and abuse.
‘They know what pain looks like and sounds like, and he … he was in pain,” the child’s father told local outlet KLAS, referring to the footage captured by a security camera at the Las Vegas daycare.
“I’ve never heard him cry like that,’ he said, adding that the tot has struggled since the encounter with a surgery, having to relearn how to walk, PTSD and behavioural changes.
“He would shriek in a pitch that would break your heart,” the child’s mother said.
The parents also revealed that the child also struggled with speaking after the incident.
