Day care employee suspended for tying 2-year-old boy to chair
A Maryland day care center is under fire after a video of a 2-year-old boy tied to a chair was posted online.
The toddler, Sean, was restrained by a towel tied around his waist while sitting down at a table celebrating a birthday party at Kids Villa Learning Center in Germantown, a since-deleted video posted online by the daycare shows.
Ruby Cambell, Sean’s grandmother, said she was shocked when she first saw the clip.
When she contacted the two day care workers who were in the classroom at the time of the incident, they told her they tied her grandson up because he could not sit still.
“He was [in] no way acting any different from any normal 2-and-a-half-year-old would act,” Campbell told FOX 5.
“In the video, you could see there are other kids standing up. There are other kids moving around. So, I’m not going to say that he was acting unruly. I’m saying he’s acting like a 2-and-a-half-year-old would act.”
When Campbell shared the video with the daycare director, she said she “couldn’t believe what she was seeing too.”
The two teachers have since been suspended, and Sean has already enrolled in a new day care center.
The director told Fox 5 that the day care doesn’t have a restraining policy because children are not supposed to be restrained.
The Campbell family filed a police report, but authorities are not investigating the incident as a crime, since the child had no bruising or injuries from the towel. They also filed a report with child protective services.
Last month, a sixth-grade teacher from North Carolina resigned after she “humiliated” one of her students by taping his mouth shut for talking too much in class.
The Smithfield Middle School teacher, LaShunda Faison, was caught after 11-year-old student Brady sent his mother a selfie with the tape over his mouth — a punishment he endured two or three times, according to the mother.

At least one person is dead and several others were injured after a car crashed into a building in Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday night, resulting in a partial collapse of the structure, authorities said.
The Baltimore Police Department said a pedestrian was transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital in critical condition after a car crashed into a house on East North Avenue and North Wolfe Street, Fox Baltimore reported.

At least two people are believed to be buried under the building.

Hunter Biden appeared to beg Maryland criminal to mail drugs to LA’s Chateau Marmont: report
Hunter Biden allegedly begged one of Maryland’s “most wanted” bad guys to mail him crack cocaine at a luxury hotel.
The ask was apparently made in a suspicious text exchange found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive. The messages show the first son communicating with someone over several months in 2018, asking for something to be mailed to him under an assumed name he was using, “Joseph Smith,” as in the founder of the Mormon church.
While Biden never specified in the messages what he was asking for, The Sun reported the person on the other end of the texts was Voshawn Sample, a 47-year-old panhandler wanted for a September 2021 armed robbery and assault at a liquor store in Glen Burnie, Md.
Cops say Sample shot an employee of Champion Liquors before taking $10,000, Fox 5 Baltimore reported. Sample was described as “armed, dangerous and unpredictable” when his case aired on Maryland’s Most Wanted last year.
Sample is currently incarcerated and is expected to go on trial in November, according to The Sun.
Hunter texted with the phone number attributed to Sample from May to August 2018, records on the laptop show. A person who answered the number told The Post Saturday it no longer belongs to Sample.
The texts show Hunter Biden appeared to use Sample to score drugs — but that he was also often stood up.
“Man same thing. I really can’t believe you did that to me 3 times. I’m finished man. I thought you were the last honest man in the life,” the first son said in a June 12, 2018 text.
“I’m gonna be honest with you my mother has been on vacation and I couldn’t cook nothing up in my house because my mother has been acting crazy lately,” Sample allegedly replied. “When you come home please come to my house and I don’t want you to bring a dollar with you buddy.”
“I still have that for you I promise. Is you gonna come get what’s yours,” the person asked Biden.
Hunter responded by saying “FEDEX or overnight Mail at Post Office to Guest Joseph Smith (HB). 8221 Sunset Boulevard Los Angeles, California. Chateau Marmont Hotel.”
The drugs never arrived, which left Hunter annoyed.
“So you never sent anything like you said you would … why am I talking to you,” he texted. Later texts show the person begging Hunter Biden for cash to pay legal fees, with the first son responding that he would send $800 bucks.
Reps for Hunter Biden did not respond to request for comment from The Post.
