Georgia daycare worker charged in child abuse case
A Georgia daycare worker was arrested and faces multiple charges, including child cruelty. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] On Aug. 11, just before 6:45 p.m., Bainbridge police were called to Little Blessing Daycare on Independence Street regarding child neglect. While many details weren't released, police arrested daycare worker Yvette Thurston, 54, the same day. Thurston was booked into the Decatur County jail and charged with three counts of cruelty to children and one count of aggravated battery. On Thursday, the father of an injured 1-year-old shared photos on social media of his son, who he says was injured at the daycare. The pictures show the child with swelling and bruising around one of his eyes. 'This is every parents' worst nightmare and WE had to live it and are still living it,' the father said. The dad said it was the 1-year-old's first day, and his other son was at the daycare, too. 'Questioning the incident was an inconvenience for the person in custody for the horrible acts she did, and also the pastor, while watching the video footage,' the father said.
