( Gateway Pundit )

A Georgia daycare worker was arrested and charged on Monday for severely beating a one-year-old boy at Little Blessings Child Care in Bainbridge.

Heartbreaking and shocking photos posted to social media show the precious baby boy suffered a black eye and lacerations to his face.

“This is every parent’s worst nightmare and we had to live it and are still living it,” the boy’s father Cory Weeks wrote on Facebook.

“We were told another child in Clay’s class did this type of damage with a plastic toy,” he said. “Nothing we saw was for the faint-hearted, especially happening to such an innocent soul,” he said.

According to Cory Weeks, little baby Clay Weeks was beaten on his first day at the daycare. He was immediately taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

“This is only the beginning for us as parents. We will make sure justice is served wherever necessary. The SEVERITY of the ACTS of VIOLENCE to our son has everyone confident that this was not her first time. We trusted this facility to care and love our kids and on their FIRST DAY that was violated. There will be more coming from this and we will make sure nothing is “swept under the rug,”” he added.

54-year-old Yvette Thurston was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated battery and three counts of felony child abuse.

Authorities have reviewed surveillance video of the beating; however, the footage has not been released to the public. No other details of the horrific beating have been released.

Thurston’s bond was set for a measly $44,000, and she already bonded out of Decatur County Jail.
