Texas Daycare Lawsuit Exposes Dangerous Loophole


Posted on Nov 18, 2009

A lawsuit filed against Woodbridge Day school may play an important role in changing laws and regulations related to daycare owners in Texas. The lawsuit alleges that two-year-old Isabella Estep died in 2008 after ingesting a rock in the classroom. The suit alleges that her teacher failed to attend to her while she lay on the floor, unconscious and dying.

An investigation by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services revealed that not only was the teacher not trained in first aid but that the owner of the day school, Neyse Hall, had no high school education or first aid training -- both of which are violations of Texas state law.

According to the Texas investigation the owner also made inflammatory comments to the licensing investigator stating that she hoped the investigator's "legs would be broken so that she would never have to see the investigator again." The investigation also revealed over 20 other deficiencies at the school.

Texas personal injury attorney Jeff Rasansky says that "we hope to play a part in bringing about change to this unfair loophole in Texas daycare licensing so that some justice can come out of this unimaginable tragedy." The loophole that RRasanskyhopes to change is a law that removes all references to deficiencies and violations from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Serviceswebsite if the facility is sold.
