Kimberly Boykin is a day care worker at Widewaters Learning Center in Knightdale, NC. Kimberly has been arrested and charged this past month with breaking the leg of an infant in her care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kimberly was charged with negligent child abuse. Officials say Kimberly twisted the leg of a 6-month-old baby and did not report what had happened. The injury caused an oblique fracture of the baby’s left femur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The child’s mother alerted police when she said her child was not acting normally. When doctors examined the child, they discovered that the baby had a broken leg. Child Protectives Services, the Safe Child Advocacy Center, and the Wake County District Attorney\u2019s Office investigated the alleged crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education made an unannounced visit to inspect Widewaters Learning Center and found several violations including where children ages 3 and 4 were placed in the bathroom to ‘think’ or to ‘have a seat’ and be spoken to” and one child being told, according to the government’s report, “Do you want me to pop you with a ruler,” and a worker showing the same child a ruler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
