A husband and wife have been arrested by deputies from the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office. They are now facing multiple charges as a result of the investigation. There are disturbing allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct at a home-operated daycare.
There were reports of sexual misconduct at a daycare in Gobles.
According to officials, the incident began when they received information about criminal activity from LaGrange, Indiana.
Authorities are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying these individuals, Jesse Stone, 46, and Stephanie Stone, 38, who are married.
Officials are currently investigating allegations of abuse or neglect at the couple’s nursery, Little Cubs Daycare, according to Charon. That’s also the place where the couple resided.
There were a few instances last year when she had a strong aversion to attending daycare. The anonymous grandmother reflected on whether that had any connection to the situation.
As of Tuesday, the daycare is temporarily closed, as indicated by a handwritten note attached to the door.
Both children insist that they were never subjected to any inappropriate touching.
On the other hand, the older child mentions that Stephanie, one of the individuals currently in custody, has a tendency to be unkind.
