A judge has sentenced three former Prattville day care employees for abusing children in their care.
Investigators say video evidence showed the abuse involved shoving and hitting, among other physical violenceIt involved children under the age of 2 at Journey Church of the River Region. Officials say they got word of possible abuse when a potential employee, who was shadowing a worker, reported the assaults.Because it is a split sentence District Judge Joy Booth will maintain jurisdiction.
19th Judicial Circuit District Attorney C.J. Robinson said while the sentence may appear lenient, it’s the best case scenario. “They’ll be on community corrections for the essentially four years. So she’s really keeping her thumbs on each of these women for essentially six years before they even get to be released on probation,” Robinson said.
Robinson has drafted legislation that would expand the definition of child abuse by providing greater protections for children under the age of 6 and to any child under 18 who is nonverbal or has a mental deficiency.Copyright 2023 WSFA. All rights reserved.
