Mother Finds Son Tied Up at Las Vegas Childcare Facility; Investigation Underway

Incident at Cherished Legacy Academy

• 📌 A mother, Kala Hall, discovered her nine-year-old son, Cody, with his hands tied up while he was sleeping at Cherished Legacy Academy on March 20th.
• 💡 Hall initially thought her son, who is on the autism spectrum, might be tangled in a blanket, but realized his hands were intentionally bound.
• 💬 When questioned, Cody stated, "Mommy, I'm sorry. I'll be a good boy," and claimed he didn't know how he got into that position.

Police Investigation and Findings

• 🚓 Las Vegas Metro Police are investigating the incident as a potential case of child abuse and neglect.
• ⚠️ An officer's report indicated that it did not appear Cody could have tied himself up, and a worker's claim that other children tied Cody during a game of cops and robbers was also deemed unlikely.
• 🔍 The report suggests the binding was done by someone with the ability to hold Cody's hands behind him and tie the towel tightly.
• 📺 Kayla Hall has requested to view security footage of the incident, but has not yet been able to.

Childcare Facility's History and Mother's Demands

• ⚠️ Cherished Legacy Academy has a history of violations, including a previous report from October detailing issues like lack of supervision and inadequate staffing ratios.
• 📉 Another investigation from November revealed eight violations, including instances where staff were unaware of children biting each other until state inspectors intervened.
• ⚖️ Hall is demanding that the employees involved be fired and that the daycare be shut down.
• 🚫 Management claims the incident is a "non-story" and that Kayla Hall did see the video, a statement Hall disputes.
