Day care center sued over toddler's choking death
The mother of a two-year-old girl is suing a Dallas day care center over the choking death of her daughter.
According to the lawsuit, which has been brought by 25-year-old Marcelina Osorio, negligence on the part of Woodbridge Day School is to blame for the toddler’s death in October of 2008.
The toddler, Isabella Estep, choked on a small piece of gravel last year while at the day care center.
According to the lawsuit, which names the former owners of the day care center as defendants, improper supervision by a teacher was the reason why her daughter remained unconscious for up to 10 minutes before she was found.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges the teacher, Mia Jennings, did not have first-aid training, as required by law. Instead, CPR was administered by one of the center’s owners.
Jennings, who does not have a high school diploma, is also named as a defendant.
The lawsuit further alleges that the day care center was closed and then resold in order to keep the incident off of their state records.
