HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A west Houston daycare employee was arrested on Tuesday after police say she was seen on surveillance video dragging and throwing a 3-year-old boy.
Beneta Wallace, 23, was charged with endangering a child.
Houston police say they were called to Star Kiddos Childcare Center on Barker Cypress on Tuesday, where the boy’s mom informed them of the assault that she said occurred on Monday.
She told Eyewitness News that the video shows a teacher throwing her son into a chair, then dragging him by his shirt down a hallway before throwing him in an office “like a bag of trash.”
Star Kiddos Childcare Center declined to comment or confirm whether Wallace was still employed.
According to an affidavit filed with the court, she’s worked there for four months.
Records show she was released from jail on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.
