A South Carolina woman has filed a lawsuit against a day-care operator who pleaded guilty to slapping her daughter so hard it caused bleeding in the child’s brain.

The lawsuit also alleges that the state Department of Social Services was negligent in its oversight of the day-care center.

The lawsuit alleges that the day-care operator caused “serious bodily injury and harm to [the girl] by slapping her in the face, and allowing the girl to remain at the center for about six hours “with no medical assistance, examination, or treatment.”

As a result, the child who was “visibly injured and in need of immediate medical attention and treatment,” the child has suffered serious injuries resulting in medical bills in the tens of thousands.

Family Sues State Over Fatal Brain Injury

The family of an Alabama man filed a lawsuit against the Partlow Developmental Center. The Center, operated by the State Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, is alleged to have negligently allowed a man in its care to suffer a traumatic brain injury.

The injury is said to have occurred while the man was under 24 hour observation. However, the night person allegedly left the man unsupervised for extended periods of time. In addition, the night person is alleged to have altered her time sheets to cover her negligence. She has since resigned from the center.

Lawsuits, such as this one, are nothing new to the Center. Last year the State Department responsible for overseeing the Center called for the Center to be closed due to excessive costs and rampant claims of abuse and neglect.
