Child abused at Austin daycare caught on live surveillanceSACRAMENTO, California - The Button Law Firm has filed a significant lawsuit against the Children’s Courtyard in Austin following shocking allegations of child abuse. This critical case, which has garnered attention and was recently featured in The Sacramento Bee, underscores the urgent need for stringent safety measures and accountability in childcare facilities. The Button Law Firm is dedicated to seeking justice for the young victim and holding the Texas daycare accountable for its severe lapses.

What Happened at the Children’s Courtyard in Austin, Texas?

According to the article in The Sacramento Bee, the lawsuit stems from disturbing allegations that a daycare worker physically abused a young child. The child's parents, represented by The Button Law Firm, have bravely stepped forward to ensure that such heinous acts do not go unpunished and to prevent future occurrences. The abuse has left the child traumatized, both physically and emotionally, impacting their sense of safety and well-being.

While at work, a father checked on his 2-year-old son at daycare. He looked at the live video surveillance footage provided by the facility and saw his son lying down for nap time. But the man says he was shocked by what happened next.

As the parent watched the feed on July 27, 2023, he witnessed his “worst nightmare.” A daycare worker was smothering the toddler with a blanket in an attempt to keep him quiet during nap time, later hitting him when he did not fall asleep, according to the article. The father rushed to the Children’s Courtyard in Austin to confront staff about what he had seen.

The Button Law Firm has meticulously documented the child's traumatic experiences, highlighting the daycare's failure to provide a secure and nurturing environment. Our firm's dedication to protecting children’s rights is evident in its relentless pursuit of justice in this case.

The Texas Daycare’s Troubled History of Violations

The Sacramento Bee's feature also highlights the daycare's troubling history of violations and regulatory failures. Previous inspections revealed a series of infractions, including inadequate supervision, failure to conduct thorough background checks on employees, and non-compliance with safety protocols. These past violations have raised serious concerns about the daycare’s ability to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in their care.

The Button Law Firm has compiled a comprehensive record of these violations to support the case. By highlighting these recurring issues, our firm aims to demonstrate a consistent pattern of negligence that has culminated in the recent incident of abuse.
