Day care where Indiana boy, 1, was injured ordered closed
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - State officials have ordered the emergency closure of an Indianapolis day care where a woman says an attack left her 1-year-old son with a bloodied and swollen face.
The Family and Social Services Administration's closure order says the KiddieGarden home day care poses "an immediate threat to the life and well-being of the children" in its care.
FSSA spokeswoman Marni Lemons says the day care was ordered to immediately cease operations Tuesday. The order says a child was injured at the business "due to a lack of supervision."
Tiffany Griffin says her 1-year-old son was hospitalized Monday after suffering a scratched, swollen and bloodied face in an attack at the day care.
Griffin says she doesn't believe the day care owner's contention that a 2-year-old girl attacked her son.
