BLF Secures Justice for a Neglected Child
SHE WAS ALONE IN THE RAIN FOR 6 HOURS
BLF Secures Justice for a Neglected Child This spring, a heartbreaking case came across our team’s desk. It was the story of a child we’ll call Destiny. She was just 3 years old when her father dropped her off at a daycare that claimed to be safe and competent. However, the facility didn’t live up to its promise. When Destiny’s father left, the caretaker took their eye off her, and she wandered through the building and out the back door. It locked behind her. She was stranded on a rainy, foggy, 41-degree day without a coat. Worse, no one on the daycare staff went looking for her. Destiny wasn’t missed until more than six hours later . That’s when the staff finally found her huddled outside. She was hysterical, cold, wet, and sitting in her own waste. The daycare didn’t even call Destiny’s father for help — he found out what happened when he picked her up and discovered that she was terrified and wearing another child’s clothes. This experience was traumatizing for Destiny. She regressed in her potty training and needed medical care, counseling, and more. Honestly, it’s a miracle things weren’t worse. She could
have wandered into the road, fallen into the nearby storm drain, or been abducted by a criminal.
One bright spot in this case came when Destiny’s parents connected with our great
friend and co-counsel James Ames. We were horrified by the details of her experience and went to bat against the daycare right away for several violations. It wasn’t possible to undo Destiny’s trauma, but we could get her family justice and hold the daycare accountable for her damages — and we did! Today, Destiny is still struggling with the aftermath of her experience, but because of our work, her family can focus entirely on her. We’re hoping she recovers soon, and in the meantime, we’ll continue to fight against daycares that neglect kids in Texas and beyond.
