"This innocent girl deserves to have a voice in court," says Russell Button. "Together, our firms will do everything we can to hold Lily Pad Learning Center accountable for its blatant disregard for child safety."

Filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County on June 13, the lawsuit states surveillance video at Lily Pad Learning Center captured a worker force-feeding the infant to the point of choking and vomiting, slamming the child onto a diaper changing table, and demonstrating other abusive treatment in January 2023. The attorneys allege the childcare facility broke state laws by falsifying an incident report about the malicious actions, including the origins of a bruise on the girl's arm.

"Russell and I are proud to partner with Chris and his firm in the fight to get this little girl and her family justice," says Ashley Washington.

The case is Jamyil Thomas, as next friend and father of Winter Thomas, a minor child, vs. Lily Pad Learning Center #2, LLC, d/b/a Lily Pad Learning Center, Case No. 23SL-CC02459, St. Louis County Circuit Court.
