A day care worker in Georgia was arrested for child abuse, authorities said, as the father of a toddler under her care shared heartbreaking pictures of the boy with a black eye and swollen face.

Yvette Thurston, 54, faces three counts of first-degree child abuse and one of first-degree aggravated battery, WDRW reports.

She was taken into custody Monday following a report of alleged abuse at Little Blessings Child Care in Bainbridge, close to the Florida border.

if a White person looks at a black person with the side-eye, then it is a hate crime and they are buried underneath the jail. But something like this happens, and the police suddenly become like the Keystone cops, and they are bewildered and befuddled, and they can’t think of any motive and obviously the perpetrator went momentarily insane or something. Or maybe they have complicating circumstances from a disadvantage upbringing or some nonsense like that. If race is brought into the case at all, it’s because the perpetrator experienced racism and lashed out or something and that’s OK. Maybe the toddler used the N-word. /sarc

The school says she has been terminated but I’ll bet it’s not the kind of ‘terminated’ I want!

Raise your own kid.

You get what you pay for.

Another kid did this. There is video footage.

Wait for the facts....or execute her. Church already fired her?

I wonder how many years that woman has worked daycare.

She probably wasn’t gentle-handed with her own children either.
