A Day Care Center Locked a Baby Inside After Closing, So His Mother Broke In

A day care owner in Houston is profusely apologizing for the actions of one of her employees who left for the night, locked up, and drove away — with one of the children still inside.

Sharonda Ross, mother of 10-month-old Jordan, had a moment of confusion with her husband when she initially believed that he picked up their son from day care. Upon realizing that wasn't the case, she and her husband rushed to get him and were shocked when they noticed the parking lot was empty.

Sharonda could hear Jordan crying through the window, and after banging on it a few times to see if someone could be inside, her husband broke the glass and ran in to get their son. Sharonda has filed a claim of child abandonment with the Harris County Sheriff's Office, which is being investigated.

The owner of the day care, Joann Davis, says that she's "as sorry as she can be," but will not be firing the employee who left Jordan behind after leaving for the night.
