Church-Based Day Care Worker Hog-Tied 4-Year-Old Girl Using Duct Tape
June 19, 2017 by David G. McAfee

A four-year-old girl was reportedly tied up with red duct tape by a day care worker at Zion Lutheran Learning Center, a Jesus-centered program for children who are pre-Kindergarten, when she refused to lie still for her nap.

According to the Riverfront Times, the girl — only identified as “E.D.” — told her mother that “Mr. Josh” tied her up at the Valley Park, Missouri center. Zion Lutheran later admitted the story was true; the man was identified as Josh Reeves.

To this day, the daycare and its board have failed to agree to terminate Reeves as E.D.’s parents have demanded. The group has reportedly given a number of excuses for not taking action, but the time for that is over. The state needs to hold this man, and his faith-based employers, accountable for dangerous and unlawful acts against at least one child. Time will tell if there have been similar incidents with other kids at this institution, but I truly hope that’s not the case.

The Days’ attorney, Jeremy Hollingshead, said all parents rely on day care workers to provide their children with quality care.

1. For the parents, empathy but no sympathy

almost anything is acceptable in the name of religion. Can I get an amen?

2. I don't understand why the parents didn't

see about having criminal charges filed against the day care worker and the Supervisor. I would think that most of the same issues sited in their lawsuit would fall under criminal complaints. It is even more horrifying that the Supervisor's way to cover up what happened was to tie other children up. The Supervisor should face criminal charges as well.

If the Church has treated one child that way they have most likely mistreated other children under their care.


From the article above:

Bizarrely, the Days learned that after the teacher supervising Reeves encountered their daughter hog-tied, she decided the best way to downplay the situation was to tape up the other kids, too, and have them all hop down the hallway to make a game of it.

The couple's suit, filed on E.D.'s behalf, alleges false imprisonment, assault, battery, negligence, negligent supervision, negligent retention and civil conspiracy.

7. Young male daycare worker restrains a child with duct tape...

Sounds like some Josh Duggar level pedobuisness.

Very disturbing.

Exploitive creeps are attracted to authoritarian churches because the members are so trusting.

4. "God works in mysterious ways!" That's what they used to tell me! Parents should

bring charges against these horrible people, hard to tell how many children they have endangered.

5. "bring charges against these horrible people"

AMEN!!!!!!!

6. I truly believe this happens in most faith-based day care centers with

most parents agreeing with, 'spare the rod, spoil the child'.
