Alas, that wasn’t the experience Jessica Hayes’s 17-month-old daughter had.
Hayes is a single mother who has to spend most of her day working to provide for her toddler.
Because of this, she regularly leaves the girl in the capable hands of the staff at Pleasant Hill daycare, a daycare center located in Elkin, North Carolina.
Normally, she is quite satisfied with the service.
The latest incident that had occurred when she picked up her daughter from the daycare, however, has made her understandably mad.
Upon viewing the photos Hayes has uploaded to Facebook, it is immediately apparent just why Hayes was outraged.
There are multiple layers of masking tape wrapped tightly around the girl’s ankles and feet.
The tape was pasted directly against the child’s skin and tight enough that you can see how it was digging into her flesh.
Hayes expressed her thoughts on how she was upset over the whole incident, as it was clear that whoever performed the deed was severely annoyed by the little girl constantly taking her shoes off.
It was an act done out of aggravation against a child who didn’t know any better.
The marks the tape left on Hayes’s daughter were bad as well, in addition to it having being tight and left on for a long enough time to cause bruising and swelling.
All this had been done by two staff members on a little girl who was learning to take her shoes off simply because they were frustrated.
As any person who works in childcare would know well, toddlers are still learning where and when they should do things and are often overly eager to remove clothing and shoes once they learn how to do so.
Shocked and upset, Hayes then confronted the daycare director, who turned out to have been unaware of the incident and was entirely speechless.
To the daycare’s credit, they reacted quickly and accordingly.
They dismissed the two staff members responsible, and then issued a note to all parents to inform them about the incident so that awareness was raised.
As it turned out, Hayes’s daughter wasn’t the only child at the receiving end of such a horrible treatment.
Many parents later reported on Hayes’s Facebook post that they found their children in a similar state upon picking them up on the same day as Hayes’s incident.
You would have thought that this was enough to deter Hayes from trusting the daycare center, but this mother has since announced that she is still keeping her daughter enrolled at the daycare, as she is positive such an incident will not happen again.
Cornrows have become a crowd favorite for women of every culture in the last 10 years. Whereas it used to be worn by children, especially young African and African American girls, the style has become widely popular across women of all ages.
But many do not know the deep and rich history of the hairstyle that saved the lives of many. Moreover, they do not know of its role in the freedom struggles which have led to the liberties we now enjoy.
Justin Fashanu was the first black footballer to command a £1 million transfer fee in 1981.
He was also the first professional footballer to be openly gay. A gifted footballer loved by many, Fashanu nonetheless committed suicide on May 2, 1998, in the U.K., after a 17-year-old boy accused him of sexual assault in the U.S. where he had travelled to and met the man of whom he said their sex was consensual.
Born on February 19, 1961, Fashanu an English footballer of Nigerian heritage played for a variety of clubs between 1978 and 1997 was known by his early clubs to be gay although it was well managed not to draw the attention of the media…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
When he revealed that he was gay, he became the first professional footballer to be openly gay. His transfer from Norwich City to Nottingham Forest in 1981, marked him as the first black footballer to command a £1million transfer fee but critics say little success attended his efforts after the transfer although he continued to play at the senior level until 1994.
“After moving to the United States, in 1998 he was questioned by police when a seventeen-year-old boy accused him of sexual assault. He was charged and an arrest warrant for him was issued in Howard County, Maryland on 3 April 1998, but he had already left his flat. According to his suicide note, fearing he would not get a fair trial because of his homosexuality, he fled to England where he killed himself in London in May 1998. His suicide note stated that the sex was consensual.”
“Fashanu began his career as an apprentice with Norwich City, turning professional towards the end of December 1978. He made his league debut on 13 January 1979, against West Bromwich Albion, and settled into the Norwich side scoring regularly and occasionally spectacularly. In 1980, he won the BBC Goal of the Season award, for a spectacular goal against Liverpool. He managed a total of 103 senior appearances for Norwich, scoring 40 goals. While at the club he was also capped six times for England at under-21 level, although the anticipated call-up to the senior side ultimately never happened.”
Fashanu’s confidence and goals were soon in short supply when Coach Brian Clough in charge of Nottingham Forest discovered he was gay and was frequenting gay nightclubs and bars. When he found it tough adjusting to the playing and lifestyle demands of Clough, he barred him from training with the side leading to him scoring just three goals in 32 league games for Forest in 1981-82.
In August 1982, he was loaned to Southampton (scoring three goals in nine appearances) as he settled in well, helping the “Saints” overcome the sudden departure of Kevin Keegan. His move would have been permanent but of lack of funds. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
Other teams he played for include Notts County, Brighton & Hove Albion, Los Angeles Heat, Edmonton Brickmen, Hamilton Steelers, Manchester City, West Ham United, Leyton Orient and Toronto Blizzard.
Although Fashanu stated his fellow players accepted him generally well following his October 1990 public announcement as gay in the Sun Newspaper becoming the only prominent player in English football to do so, he was nonetheless aware of malicious jokes made about his sexual orientation while becoming a target of constant crowd abuse because of it.
Fashanu was assistant manager for Ivan Golac who was manager of Torquay in February 1992.
“It was in March 1998, that the man claimed to police that he had been sexually assaulted by Fashanu after a night of drinking. Homosexual acts were illegal in the US state of Maryland at the time, and the youth stated the act was not consensual but being performed as he awoke. The assault was alleged to have taken place in Fashanu’s apartment in Ellicott City, Maryland, United States. Fashanu was questioned about this by the police on 3 April, but he was not held in custody. The police later arrived at his flat with a warrant to arrest him on charges of second-degree sexual assault, first-degree assault, and second-degree assault, but Fashanu had already fled to England.”
On the morning of 3 May, he was found hanged in a deserted lock-up garage he had broken into, in Fairchild Place, Shoreditch, London, after visiting Chariots Roman Spa, a local gay sauna.
Fashanu’s remains were cremated and a small ceremony was held at City of London Cemetery and Crematorium. Fashanu was listed at number 99 in the Top 500 Lesbian and Gay Heroes in The Pink Paper.
In 2017, Netflix released the film, Forbidden Games: The Justin Fashanu Story.
