Upon picking up my 8 year old son from his first day at the new daycare,he came out holding his hands on the back of his neck,in pain,and which I could see pink and red bruise marks on his neck.When i asked him (in private) what was wrong,he reported to me that an adult male staff member had grabbed him by the neck,squeezed it hard enough to leave a bruise,and told him "I will teach you discipline-guaranteed!".He aslo told me that this adult male staff member then took his legs,grabbing them,and slammed him on the floor.This happened in a room with mats on the floor where the children had been playing and throwing around plastic balls.We complained to the woman at the front desk,and he told her in private the same he had told me.She asked him to look through the glass window in the hallway and point to the man who did it.He identified the man.I called the police and took my son to the hospital.The police tell me its not child abuse,its assualt.Magistrate says hearsay,wont let me press.
