A mother alleges in a lawsuit that a caregiver aggressively yanked, dangled, and swung her daughter by the arms before dropping her onto a nap mat at a day care center in Texas.

Janese Milivojevic is suing The Children’s Courtyard , claiming that as she watched the South Austin center’s live surveillance feed, she witnessed the abuse by the caregivers at the Austin facility.
“My heart sank when I saw my daughter and other children being harmed at The Children’s Courtyard by the adults who were supposed to protect them,” said Milivojevic. “My daughter was only at The Children’s Courtyard for two days. Working parents should not have to balance doing their job and watching a day care center’s livestream to ensure their child is not being harmed.”
Lawyer Russell Button, who represents Milivojevic and a second family in separate lawsuits against the day care center, said systemic safety failures there are endangering innocent children.
“The lack of concern for abuse allegations for one child led to another child being harmed,” Button said. “Texas has day care safety laws in place to hold negligent facilities like The Children’s Courtyard accountable.”
