Warning: This video contains disturbing material.
When you have to work, daycare is a vital and necessary component for your child. You research which is best, visit many and decide on the one that makes the most sense. That’s what this one Pasco mom did and she thought she had done the right thing.
Recently, she dropped her 15-month-old off to the Kids Stop and Play Daycare and put her in the care of 49-year-old Linda Klem of Tarpons Springs. Linda has been employed by Kids Stop for four years.
When the mom picked up her daughter at the end of the day, she noticed an abrasion under her eye and on the side of her face. She went back to the daycare and from there to the hospital. When police reviewed the surveillance footage, the were shocked to find Klem had intentionally kicked the little girl while she slept on the floor. The little girl awakened crying. Later, Klem goes back and kicks the sleeping child forcefully on the backside.
Klem denied the allegations, but thanks to the video footage, she has been arrested and charged with child abuse. The owner of the daycare was surprised at the behavior from Klem.
What in heaven’s name could Klem have been thinking? What could a 15-month-old sleeping baby possible do to warrant such abuse in her mind? It’s horrifying to think such people work with children. This is a good wake up to pay attention and question marks or bruises on your children when you pick them up from caregivers!
We hope this story will help other families avoid this horror, so please SHARE the video on Facebook.
