A Milwaukee day care center is under investigation on suspicion of leaving a toddler unattended at a park, where he fell from a swing set and was taken to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin with a head injury, according to the Milwaukee County sheriff’s office.
Excellent Little Angels, 8320 W. Lisbon Ave., has closed voluntarily during the investigation by the state Department of Children and Families, said Jill Chase, director of the Bureau of Early Care Regulation.
The sheriff’s office is recommending one charge of child neglect against Cynthia Black, the day care center’s licensee, sheriff’s spokeswoman Kim Brooks said.
According to the sheriff’s office:
The 23-month-old boy was discovered Tuesday in Algonquin Park after he was injured. Witnesses could not find a parent or guardian.
Excellent Little Angels workers noticed the boy was missing when they returned to the day care.
A woman affiliated with the center returned to the park and was questioned by deputies, whom she told different stories about what happened. Deputies later arrested her on an outstanding warrant for retail theft in Grafton.
Brooks said the child care center was uncooperative with deputies and changed its account many times.
She said the child’s injuries were not life threatening, but his condition was unknown.
This place had 10 kids on the bus going. They had 9 coming. How frickin' difficult is this? I'd be Baldwin mad at this place. Thankfully, though hurt from falling off the swing, the boy was found and is now being treated at Children's Hospital.
Of course, to make matters worse, the place lies about what happened . . . then they had someone with an outstanding warrant working for them looking for the kid. It can't get any more retarded than this.
