Corpus Christi, TX (February 15, 2023) – A 59-year-old woman from New Jersey lost her life as a result of a truck crash that was reported in Corpus Christi on Saturday morning. On […]
That evening, the little girl was taken to see a doctor, who diagnosed her with a spiral fracture on her left arm. The doctor informed the parents that a spiral fracture is usually the result of a deliberate action. As a result, the parents looked to the daycare center to try to determine what exactly happened.
Mrs. Cahill called the daycare to request video footage of her daughter’s room, but the daycare balked at the idea. The following morning, Mrs. Cahill called again. She was then told that the daycare had not received the video footage. The school called back later that morning and informed her that they were able to view the video and that nothing untoward happened. The parents sought the help of Child Protective Services (CPS), which eventually led to them filing criminal charges against Stephanie Weis, a teacher at the school. What’s shocking is that there were a slew of other allegations brought on by other parents who had had their children at the daycare in question.
Thanks to intervention by the IIU section of Child Protective Services, the Cahill’s were able to see video footage of their child’s room at the daycare. The video clearly showed Ms. Stephanie Weis reach into the Camdyn’s crib and perform an abrupt movement. What followed were the child’s cries as well as her kicking her legs vigorously, perhaps as a means of self-defense.
Tyler Slavey of Brewer & Giggenbach represented the Cahills in court. He commented that Craig Edmond, the daycare owner, had at times seemed more concerned about the institution’s profits compared to the welfare of the children. He went on to add that Pleasant Day School had gotten so big that management had lost track of what was going on. He also noted that the center’s slow reaction to prevent and stop similar cases of child abuse was reckless and pointed to a lack of institutional control.
Camdyn is now a safe and happy two-year old. However, her mother stated that she wanted other parents to know what had happened at the daycare center in hopes of stopping the cycle of abuse that is allegedly synonymous with the school.
