It’s been 8 months and no arrest have been made , I was made aware she has children under her care while her rapist husband is still free. She is the ring leader in all of this the more my child speaks she, she speaks of Bradi hurt her I know this to be true because she herself told me in the text below that she’s tough on children and sad her husband the rapist says “she’s going to turn them into monsters like her” . This fight will never stop until there’s justice the link below shows another site where another parent complained about the care .

My two children went to this facility and one who is non verbal with autism and the other who’s shy both were traumatized at this place , the provider leaves for hours at a time to get her self filled up while her husband is left with the female kids unattended. I thought it was strange when my child school would say she was coming to school wet so anytime I would confront the provider she always had a reason to what maybe the reason should’ve been a red flag but I would’ve never thought anything was happening , fast forward to May 2022 my child said she was hit and her vagina was touched by both the provider and her spouse . They had an open investigation that was closed ; after the facility was closed for 6 months they allowed them to reopen even after the allegations if sexual assault upon autistic children . Do not send your children here , it’s not a safe place ; the provider and her spouse both are very suspicious and I wouldn’t want anyone to experience what I’ve had to with dealing with this in home child neglected facility, look up the closings and the reasonings and don’t look to save money on an in home facility you’ll pay for it in the long run.
I wouldn’t recommend sending your children here this place is anything but a safe haven for children, just look up the closing for 6 months . Do your research before sending your children here . There’s multiple adults not female in the home while the provider is out of the home , so just be cautious.
Kids are left in time out for outrageous periods of time, she has called children “assholes” and used other profanity towards and about the children. Lunch and snacks are not guaranteed on a daily basis, has more children than allowed per licensing regulations.
