Frisco Child Care Center Sued for Mistreating Kids

0:00A lawsuit in Collin County accuses a Frisco Child Care Center. Kids are, kids of Lawler Farm, of mistreating several young kids, including A, 3-year-old boy, yang card by the arm, and shoved into a chair. The mom, Kylie Wheeland, fouled it last month on behalf of her son after state investigators tipped her off about rough handling in his classroom. Video from June 2024, caught caregivers pulling, shoving, and striking multiple children, showing a clear pattern of excessive force. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services reviewed it and ruled the actions put kids at serious risk of harm. Wheeland noticed her son's behavior change, big time. He got scared and sad, with unexplained marks like a dark spot under his eye. Staff told investigators they were told not to report issues and then hires prioritize low wages over skills or patients. State records show the center guy hit with citations for abuse, neglect, poor supervision, and failing to report risks.
