Milwaukee, WI: A former Daycare owner has been sent to prison in Wisconsin on child abuse charges. He pleaded guilty to all the charges brought against him in the court.
The convict is identified as Danielle Jones. He ran a daycare called Two Helping Hands on Silver Spring Drive, Milwaukee.
A criminal complaint states that detectives found video evidence of Jones physically abusing toddlers, leaving them unattended, and even picking them up by the arms on multiple occasions.
A surveillance footage showed Jones grabbing a little child by the hair and carrying them with the hair into another room. He then allegedly threw the kid into a pack-and-play.

According to the complaint, there was another incident where Jones violently slapped another kid on the left arm. The slap was so intense that the toddler tripped and fell to the ground as per CBS News.
A 911 call on September 1, 2022, sparked the investigation that led to the criminal complaint against Jones. A mother contacted the police “stating that the day care owner had slapped her 4-year-old child in the face.”
According to her, her kid informed her on August 31 that “momma she smacked me like this” and even showed her how he hit him.
