That’s the kind of “mistake” that makes every parent wonder what else has been covered up. You don’t shut the lights off and quietly move kids unless something much worse is sitting in the background.
Parents have been forced to find new child care after some troubling stories at a Manhattan day care center.
CBS News New York Investigates first reported on child abuse allegations at the Bright Horizons at Columbus Circle day care center over the summer. Now, investigative reporter Tim McNicholas has learned an employee put a cleaning solution containing bleach in a classroom water pitcher.
The company says it was a mistake, but parents are still livid.
Bright Horizons at Columbus Circle goes dark
When CBS News New York visited the day care center recently, many of the lights were off and no one answered a locked door. Some parents say Bright Horizons called them earlier this month to tell them they’d have to switch to a different day care center, at least for now.
“I did mention on the phone that this was really uncool and we had no options at the time,” one mother said.
That mother, who asked not to be identified in order to protect her daughter’s identity, said Bright Horizons made no mention of any specific incident during the call.
