BAINBRIDGE, Ga. - A day care worker in Georgia was arrested earlier this week following a report of alleged child abuse.

Bainbridge police say Yvette Thurston, 54, was taken into custody Monday and faces charges of first-degree aggravated battery and three counts of first-degree child abuse.

Thurston’s bond was set at $44,000 for all four charges, according to Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Emmons.

Jail records show that Thurston has since bonded out of the Decatur County Jail.

Thurston was identified as an employee at Little Blessings Child Care, where the reported incident allegedly took place.

A boy’s father, Cory Weeks, has shared images of his toddler since the alleged treatment happened while his child was attending the child care facility on his first day.

Specific details about the case or allegations were not immediately released. But investigators confirmed that officers were able to view surveillance video from the day care that contributed to the investigation.

Bainbridge police said the boy was treated at an area hospital.

Representatives affiliated with the facility did not immediately comment regarding the situation.

How can a day care worker beat the bejeebers out of a little boy?! Does she have no heart? Did she not think she would get caught? He looks TERRIBLE! That poor kid! Throw the book at her.

Family law attorney here. Used to do child abuse cases. This is how the black community raises their children.

Here is the most amazing thing. If the child had been Black and the care worker was White, there would be riots led by White Liberal Women and the streets would be running with blood and homes and businesses burned. This was obviously a racial attack by this Black woman against a White child. We live in such a backwards society.

Hubby’s buddy said they had to pull their kid out of day care due to abuse by workers. When the management was doctoring / scrubbing the video of the abuse, some workers were doing their own videos of management doing it.

The mother is a stay-at-home mom, so why are they even doing day care? Guess no lesson was learned, since they’re shopping around for another facility. SMH.

Kind of defeats the purpose of staying at home, right?

They seem to use the “socialization” reason / excuse a lot. The truth is, the most well-adjusted, smart, polite, and socialized kids are those who are home schooled.

When we meet kids who are well behaved, kick-ass smart, and mature, I say to the parent(s), “Let me guess ... home schooled?” Always is, “Yes”.

Maybe she was just trying to beat the White privilege out of him, I hope she gets some similar help in prison.
