ANSON COUNTY, N.C. — A local daycare is under investigation for allegations of child abuse. A parent said their baby came home from the daycare with bruises and injuries a doctor referred to as suspicious.
Channel 9′s Tina Terry spoke with those parents, as well as the Wadesboro interim police chief, about the incident.
“The first thing I thought is somebody needs to be locked up,” said father Logan Jordan.
He explained this was the first thing that came to his mind when he saw bruises on his 8-month-old son Colson.
Jordan said Colson attended C’s and T’s Childcare on Thursday. The baby’s mother then picked him up that afternoon and noticed bruises while bathing him later that day.
“As soon as she noticed, I came over there. The first thing we did was take him to Wadesboro police, and they took pictures and got the report. And we left there and went to the Anson County hospital,” said Jordan.
In addition to bruising, the hospital reported that Colson had a contusion on his lower back and an abrasion around his neck. The doctor who examined Colson called the injuries suspicious.
“I was mad. I was furious. I wanted somebody to be locked up on the spot,” Jordan expressed.
Channel 9 reviewed records from the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education. It showed an unannounced inspection in May 2024 to investigate “a concern of inappropriate discipline.” However, the allegations were unsubstantiated.
During another visit in February 2024, inspectors “confirmed sufficient information to determine child maltreatment.”
Jordan said he hopes the current police investigation will uncover what happened to his child.
“You just don’t want it to be swept under the rug,” Jordan said.
Channel 9 visited the daycare Monday afternoon; however, the owner said he needed to check with his attorney before discussing the matter.
On Wednesday, the daycare released a statement addressing the allegations, saying:
“C’s & T’s Child Care, Inc. is deeply concerned for the health and safety of all children and takes any allegation of abuse of a child extremely serious. C’s and T’s Childcare is fully cooperating with all law enforcement and regulatory investigations and inquiries.
C’s and T’s is deeply disturbed by the numerous photographs of injuries posted by the child’s mother on social media.
C’s and T’s management has voluntarily provided to investigating authorities onsite video from multiple camera angles that fully captures from the time the mother dropped off her child to the time the child was picked up by the mother at 12:54 pm on the date of reporting.
Following careful review, the video showed absolutely no evidence of abuse or accidental injury at C’s and T’s Child Care. The mother reported the injuries later that day at 9:07 pm.”
We also contacted the NC DHHS about this latest incident. A spokesperson said the agency was aware of the concerns and is considering its next steps.
The Wadesboro Police Department is also investigating and has even reached out to the SBI for help.
