On Thursday, January 17th, the Lubbock Police Department was made aware of a video circulating social media. The video involved a young child at the My Little Playhouse daycare located in the 3600 block of 50th Street.
Multiple people began sharing the video on LPD’s social media pages and reporting the video to our LPD dispatch. Once the video was brought to LPD’s attention, officers were sent to the daycare to immediately begin an investigation. A police report was written for the incident and a detective with the LPD Family Crimes Unit was assigned the case to continue a thorough investigation into what happened. Due to the nature of the incident, officers also notified Child Protective Services so they could investigate.
Through that investigation, it was determined the video had actually been recorded on December 26th, but the video was just now surfacing and being shared on social media. Investigators also learned the parents of the child and the daycare owners were not aware of the video until January 17th.
Based on the investigation, detectives are referring this case to the City of Lubbock Prosecutor’s Office for prosecution of assault charges.
