Thirty-seven children may have been abused at daycare centers and 12 staff members are being investigated on Hill Air Force Base, families were told in a briefing Tuesday. natecarlisle
Federal agents are investigating 12 staff members, though it wasn’t made clear how many are suspected of abuse or failing to report it. At least one agent from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations as well as Hill’s base commander, Col. Jeffrey G. Holland, provided the briefing to families. Details of that briefing were later relayed to FOX 13 News.“This is an open and ongoing investigation at this time,” the statement read.
Child Development Center – both East and West – are the formal names of the daycares. They care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years from Air Force families. One parent described having been shown a video of her child. The parent described her child’s head as ricocheting off a cot when a caregiver harshly put the child down for a nap.
The parents in the meeting were a mix of service personnel and civilian spouses. According to descriptions, the briefing lacked the typical military decorum, with parents complaining about the lack of candor from the Air Force and asking why administrators overseeing the child development centers haven’t been put on leave.
