Jonesboro Montessori Academy let a stranger take my baby from their daycare.
Yesterday, a man that I do not know was allowed to enter their facility and take my 16 month old son without consent from me or my wife. He was not checked at the door. He was not ID'd when he took my son. He was allowed to put my child into his vehicle, drive off, and then he returned my son some time later saying that it was the wrong child. They will not tell me this person's name.
My wife picked him up a little after 5 and there was no mention of this incident at the time of her arrival. We were only informed an hour later by the owner of the daycare that this had taken place.
He could have been anyone. He could have been a pedophile, a murderer, or any other type of sick freak that could have intended harm to my son. Needless to say, my child will not return to this daycare.
