A church is under fire after Child Protective Services launched an investigation related to child abuse at the daycare center.
A letter sent home to parents outlined the investigation going on and many have taken a closer look at their own children who have been attendance, some for years.
More than five moms have reached out to News 3 saying they have taken their kids out. One reports her child was hit, another said their child was restrained. Other allegations include children being shut in closets, hit over the head or pushed into walls. One mom told us they plan to hire an attorney due to injuries their son sustained while at the center.
Mom Sara Jacobs said her husband called CPS after their son Noah was picked up and had large scratch marks on his back. Jacobs said her husband asked where the marks came from and the worker told him she had dragged Noah out from under a table, scraping his back.
