A video recording of a Bradford County preschool teacher using threatening language toward a student is shedding light on what led to an investigation that ultimately shut down the Starke school.
– A video recording of a Bradford County preschool teacher using threatening language toward a student is shedding light on what led to an investigation thatA video obtained Sunday by News4JAX is what prompted a Florida Department of Children and Families investigation at the Bradford Pre-School And Learning Center in August. In the video, a staff member can be heard using threatening language toward a child.“Well, when I tell you to come in, don’t pull away from me.
“I was just completely, I was angry and upset. I knew it was my son. It was his clothes and his voice,” said Williams. Taylor Williams said the boy in the video who is being threatened is her son Zachariah, who was 4 years old at the time the video was recorded. DCF sent a letter to parents saying it issued an emergency license suspension to the preschool on Friday. Starke Police said the center has been involved in an ongoing investigation since August. Investigators found several DCF administrative code violations through video footage, according to police.
Records show a staff member was arrested on a child abuse charge in 2015, but the charges were dropped. Makayla Proctor told News4Jax she filed a police report earlier in June after witnessing an employee push her 2-year-old son’s head down three times during nap time.“I think it’s amazing,” she said.
