Toddlers ‘smacked,’ ‘yanked’ by former daycare worker; Ex-employee sentenced to jail

A former daycare worker who pleaded guilty to charges connected to the assault of three toddlers at a Greene County daycare has been sentenced to jail.

Makala Curry, who identifies as male and goes by Greyson, appeared in Fairborn Municipal Court on Thursday morning to learn his punishment, which was 360 days in jail. He had three days jail credit and was ordered to pay court costs.

Before the sentence was announced, Curry’s defense attorney got up to speak. Just as he did so, an outburst came from the gallery with one of the victim’s mothers shouting an expletive.

“Excuse me, there will be no outbursts. If there’s another outburst, you’ll be removed from the courtroom,” Judge Andrew Hunt said in response.

The sentencing came just over a month after Curry pleaded guilty to four counts of assault and five counts of child endangering, all misdemeanor counts.

The victims in the case were all younger than three years old and the crimes themselves were caught on surveillance video.
