Two Georgia women are wanted in a case of alleged child abuse that was caught on video at a church daycare earlier this month.
According to the Clarkston Police Department, Bernetta Glover and Autumn Coney are currently charged with child cruelty in the first degree over an incident that occurred at the Clarkston First Baptist Academy on July 6, 2022.
Krystin Collier told Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB-TV that her 3-year-old son came home from daycare on the day in question suffering from a swollen jaw and that he was clearly upset.
“This day, he was very, very emotional, standoffish,” she further told Atlanta CBS affiliate WGCL. “He was missing a shoe; he was very disheveled.”
Eventually, the concerned mother demanded video footage of what occurred that day. What she saw shocked and enraged her.
“I’m very disgusted, very disappointed, because this is a church day care,” Collier told WSB. “I trusted these people with my child.”
The boy was immediately pulled from the day care, and some of the footage was shared with WSB.
In one video, an adult “appears to pick the child up by the arms and then by his shirt and throw him down,” the TV station reported.
“One of the teachers picks up my son from one side of her body and slams him to the other side of her body, I guess to get him to settle down,” Collier told WSB-TV reporter Audrey Washington.
An attorney for the mother said there is at least one additional video showing another member of the staff interacting with the young boy.
