What would you do if your child were in this daycare?

This week a daycare was temporarily shut down because one of the workers was taping a 2 month olds pacifer to his mouth to make him stop crying. Here is a clip of the news article about it. A spokeswoman for the Department of Human Services says a 4-month-old boy was found in a darkened room in a Jefferson City nursery with a pacifier taping his mouth shut. Department spokeswoman Michelle Mowery Johnson says the department responded Tuesday to an anonymous complaint that a caregiver in Jefferson City was taping babies’ mouths shut. An investigator heard muffled whining from the bathroom. The boy’s mouth was taped with two-inch clear packing tape. The nursery was closed today. It will be served with a suspension order from DHS and a hearing is set for Thursday before an administrative judge. More details as they develop online and in Thursday’s News Sentinel. I would be furious if that were my child. I would be demanding that daycare be shut down and I would be suing. That poor little baby could have died! Just last night I was watching the news and there are parents actually supporting the daycare. The mother of the 2 month old actually came forward and said it's not the directors fault and the daycare should not be shut down. I'm in shock over this! The daycare director in an interview said she had no idea this was going on because she wasn't in the center at the time. I feel like the director is ultimately responsible for the workers she has in there. This is not the first time this has happened. I don't think there is anyway she would have not known about this. The daycare only have 24 kids. If the director can't keep track of what's going on with those 24 kids and her workers then she doesn't need to have a daycare. What do you all think about this?
