A daycare worker was arrested in Florida for allegedly shaking a playhouse so hard that a 4-year-old child fell head-first onto a concrete surface.
As per The Mirror, on October 28 a boy climbed to the top of an outside playhouse at a daycare in Gainesville and De’Neishia Garner, 30, intentionally shook the playhouse so the child would fall off the top, and he did.
However, the resilient child got up and kept playing with other kids, but a few minutes later he climbed on the playhouse again and Garner allegedly began to “violently” shake it, causing the child to fall backward and flip over onto his head, as per affidavit.
The child was reportedly taken to the emergency room and he received nine stitches for a deep cut on his head.
Garner is charged with aggravated child abuse.
As per Garner, she intentionally shook the playhouse to warn the child not to climb that high. She said she told the child, “We keep our feet on the ground.”
She said after she saw the child climb the playhouse again she intentionally shook it again to scare him.
