A Brooklyn mother says she is outraged after surveillance video showed her 2-year-old son falling down a flight of stairs while at daycare.<\/p>\n
Anetra Williams told News 12 on Friday that her toddler, Khaleel, tumbled down about 15 steps earlier in the week, as he attended BumbleBeesRus on Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant. <\/p>\n
“I put trust in them to watch over my child, protect my child when he’s within their care,” said Williams.<\/p>\n
Williams gave News 12 the surveillance video, which showed the child near the top of a staircase as an adult appeared to pick something off the floor. That’s when a gate swings shut and hit the child before he fell.<\/p>\n
The video showed that three adults reached for the closing gate but were unsuccessful in catching the child before the fall. <\/p>\n
News 12 blurred the adults’ faces in the video because, as of Friday, they had not been charged with a crime.<\/p>\n
Williams claimed that the staff only provided the child with ice packs until she was able to arrive about 30 minutes later.<\/p>\n
“I was told that they would not be able to contact 911 until I arrived on the location,” said Williams. “911 should’ve been called first and then me.”<\/p>\n
The mother said her son was conscious after the fall and taken to a hospital, but she worried about long-term health issues. <\/p>\n
“I definitely lack trust with [BumbleBeesRus] ,” said Williams. “Of course, my son will not be going back.” <\/p>\n
News 12 reached out to BumbleBeesRus and the Department of Education for comment but has not heard back. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Brooklyn mother says she is outraged after surveillance video showed her 2-year-old son falling down a flight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-350846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
