A Denton family has filed a lawsuit against a local day care center, claiming their infant son was left unsupervised and injured while in their care. The lawsuit, filed by Maria Serna and Juan Daniel Riojas Ramires on behalf of their 4-month-old son, alleges that the day care center, The Kids Zone, failed to provide adequate supervision and care, resulting in their son’s injury.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred at The Kids Zone, located at 3730 E. McKinney St. in Denton, and has left the family shaken and questioning their trust in child care. The lawsuit seeks more than $250,000 and up to $1 million in damages, citing negligence and a failure to maintain the required staff-to-child ratios.<\/p>\n
According to the lawsuit, the infant was left alone in a bouncing chair and was severely injured by an older child while no caregiver intervened. When the parents took their son to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Prosper, medical staff informed them that the boy had an infected scratch, bruises, and an infected eye. The lawsuit claims that the day care center failed to separate infants from older children and did not maintain the required staff-to-child ratios, leading to the incident.<\/p>\n
The parents’ lawsuit alleges that The Kids Zone was negligent in their care and supervision of their son. The suit claims that the day care center failed to provide a safe environment for the infant and that the staff did not take adequate measures to prevent the incident. The lawsuit also alleges that the day care center failed to report the incident to the parents in a timely manner, which further exacerbated the situation.<\/p>\n
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which licenses child care centers, has stated that they prioritize safety complaint investigations, which typically take 30 to 60 days. Licensed centers must report serious incidents, and enforcement can follow if violations are found. According to James Rivera, a spokesperson for the HHSC, if violations are found, the agency may call for corrective action or pursue enforcement, depending on the severity of the incident.<\/p>\n
The family has expressed their concerns and fears following the incident, stating that it has shaken their trust in child care. “It’s been difficult,” Riojas Ramires said. “We don’t know whether to keep him in day care or ask a family member to watch him.” The incident has led the family to reconsider their infant’s care options and has caused them significant emotional distress.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit against The Kids Zone is ongoing, and the family is seeking justice and accountability for the incident. The case highlights the importance of proper supervision and care in child care centers and the need for parents to be vigilant in ensuring their child’s safety.<\/p>\n
