Daycare Abuse Caught on Camera, LA Mom Seeks Justice

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 26, 2024) — An LA mother is calling for action after a video surfaced showing her 4-year-old son being mistreated by the owner of Kinder Kids Christian Preschool in the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood.
The incident, which occurred on March 14, was captured on the daycare’s surveillance system, but the footage was only shown to the mother, BriéAnn Battle, a month later.
In the distressing footage, daycare owner Artea Kirkland is seen forcefully grabbing the child, pinning him to the floor, and carrying him upside down, among other aggressive actions. Battle recounted that Kirkland boasted about teaching the boy a harsh lesson not imparted by his family.
Following the Los Angeles daycare abuse incident, Battle shared images of her son’s scars and has since removed him from the school. She has demanded the release of the full 30-minute surveillance video and is seeking legal and regulatory actions against Kirkland, including revoking her daycare license.
Battle has engaged an attorney and is working with investigators to address the abuse. She also expressed a desire for other parents at the school to be informed about the incident.
