You gonna to have to come better than that. A 1-year-old Indianapolis boy was attacked at a day care center, leaving his lips, eyes and face horribly swollen and sparking a police investigation. Tiffany Griffin, said she was summoned to the day care Monday afternoon a few hours after dropping her two sons off there. The owner of the Kiddiegarden day care, Haben Ghebremichael, told police that a 2-year-old girl had attacked Griffin’s son and that girl had blood on her hands afterwards. While it’s not uncommon for that girl to act out, she said, “the extent of the injuries just blows our minds.” Well it also blew Tiffany Griffin’s mind, the mother of the child, who promptly punched the daycare worker in the face. Ghebremichael said a worker at the day care separated the two children during Monday’s attack but the boy had already been injured by that time. “This was truly a sad, shocking and unfortunate event,” she said in an emailed statement. “Our hearts go out to Jesse and his family and are praying for his well-being.” Griffin said she doesn’t believe the 2-year-old girl attacked her son, saying that child “was small and she didn’t look like she was the violent type.” She said that when she showed a photo of her son’s swollen face to the girl’s mother, that woman “started crying and said her baby wouldn’t do anything like that.” Griffin said that her son was hospitalized for his injuries. State authorities have ordered the closure of the day care. The Family and Social Services Administration spokeswoman Marni Lemons says the KiddieGarden day care was ordered closed Tuesday. Ghebremichael said in a prepared statement that her business has never faced any allegations of abuse or maltreatment and it is cooperating fully with police, child protective services and state agencies. Indianapolis police spokesman Officer Aaron Hamer said detectives are investigating, but no arrest has been made.
