The Button Law Firm is representing a Kerrville mother in a lawsuit against A Child’s Place Learning Center after her 9-month-old son sustained serious injuries in the daycare’s care. The lawsuit, featured prominently in the Laredo Morning Times, reveals how a failure to secure the infant in a highchair led to a traumatic fall, leaving the child with a head injury and a fractured clavicle. The case highlights alarming safety failures at the daycare and has drawn attention to The Button Law Firm’s ongoing fight for justice for the injured child and his family.
The Button Law Firm Advocates for Safety After Daycare Negligence Leads to Serious Injury
According to the article from Laredo Morning Times, the incident occurred in March 2024 when workers at A Child’s Place Learning Center failed to secure the infant with safety straps while placed in a tall highchair. As a result, the 9-month-old boy fell headfirst, slamming the right side of his head, shoulder, and arm into the floor. The mother says in the lawsuit that her baby was left in pain for eight hours following the incident, with the daycare staff attempting to cover up their negligence rather than seeking immediate medical attention or notifying her as required by Texas childcare laws.
The child’s mother described the horrifying moment she picked up her son from the daycare and saw a large knot on his head, along with visible discomfort. “My world turned upside down when I saw my baby with a knot on his head at A Child’s Place. It was obvious that he was not okay, and the center had the nerve to let him suffer while trying to cover up the facility’s failures. No child or parent should have to endure what we experienced at A Child’s Place.”
Texas Health and Human Services Investigation Uncovers Multiple Violations at A Child’s Place Learning Center
As highlighted in the Laredo Morning Times feature, Texas Health and Human Services investigated the incident and discovered multiple safety violations at A Child’s Place Learning Center. The daycare was issued three citations for failing to secure infants with safety straps, not providing adequate supervision, and caregivers not demonstrating competency or good judgment. The investigation further revealed that the worker responsible for the baby had no formal childcare training and had only completed a four-hour orientation at the daycare.
One of the most concerning findings in the investigation was video footage showing another child climbing into an infant seat and falling backward without any daycare worker noticing. These blatant oversights underscore the severe lack of safety protocols and proper supervision at A Child’s Place Learning Center.
A History of Safety Violations at This Central Texas Daycare
According to the Laredo Morning Times, this is not the first time A Child’s Place Learning Center has faced scrutiny for its lack of safety measures. Between September 2019 and March 2024, the daycare received more than a dozen citations from the state, including one for failing to have safety straps on infant feeding chairs. Despite these citations, the daycare failed to implement necessary changes to ensure the safety of the children in its care.
“This lawsuit is a stark reminder of the importance of safety protocols and thorough training in daycare centers,” said Russell Button, daycare and childcare injury lawyer at The Button Law Firm. “This baby’s suffering could have been prevented with proper supervision and care.”
