Sheriff: Meridian day care is a "pigsty":
Reason to Blow Up the World...
A Meridian day care provider, who has been investigated for child abuse before, is behind bars today.
Dawn Seekamp, 37, is accused of slamming a one-year-old boy into his high chair so violently that she broke his leg in two places.
She was caring for the child at her in-home day care, Building Blocks Pre-school, on Bentley Drive in Meridian.
Ada County Sheriff’s detectives say on Monday Seekamp got angry at the baby.
Other children in the home say she slammed the little boy into his high chair three times, and the impact was so hard that he suffered a spiral fracture to his femur.
When detectives went into Seekamp's home they found deplorable conditions -- feces on the carpet and on a baby seat, as well as rotten food all over the home.
This is not Seekamp’s first brush with the law. Deputies say she has been under investigation for child abuse before and had foster children removed from her home four years ago.
They say there was simply not enough evidence to file charges against her and thus, she was able to get a day care license.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday afternoon with Health and Welfare officials to determine if Seekamp will be able to keep custody of her own four children.
Seekamp is also facing possible animal neglect charges.
Detectives say there were dogs, cats, and chickens at the home that were not being fed and had no water.
One point for breaking a baby's leg, another point for each break (2), another point for parents leaving their kids in an obvious craphole, another point for abusing her own children, one more point for the animal abuse, another point for having foster kids removed, and one last point for running an all around shitty daycare. That's eight.
Why is it that it's always cretins like this that are running daycares and taking foster kids?
