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.
