Police told WJBF-TV that 33-year-old Tieasha Stokes was arrested after the child’s parent noticed that the 3-year-old was visibly upset and said that she had been “hurt” by a teacher.
The parent and the director of the Big Blue Marble Daycare reviewed video surveillance which showed Stokes approaching the child from behind, picking the child up by the right arm area, walking the child to a chair, and then, picking up the child with two hands under the armpits and forcibly sitting the child into a chair.
After speaking with the director of the daycare, the parent contacted the Grovetown Police Department and reported the incident. The parent told officials that on April 29 the child was injured by an employee and suffered minor abrasions as a result.
