Passion Watson, a daycare worker from Oak Creek, has been sentenced to 12 months of probation after pleading guilty to exposing a toddler to cocaine. The drug was found in the child's system after being discovered in Watson's backpack at the KinderCare where she worked. The child has since developed serious complications and requires special needs support. This case has raised concerns about safety measures in childcare environments, according to FOX6 News.
Details surfaced when police found the substance in May, leading to Watson's arrest, and the child's mother, Kimberly Hopson, telling WISN, "What's the point of bringing coke here when you're working with infants? Like, you didn't even leave it in the car. You had in the same room with him?" Watson, in a display of remorse, stated, "I apologize. and I'm remorseful for what happened. I have a 2-year-old son. I would just like to be the mother and young woman that I know I can be."
As a result of the incident, the child now has documented mental health issues and requires special needs support. State resources are now involved to provide the necessary assistance. "He has developed mental issues that are documented, he now is a special needs child and has state resources that are now providing resources to assist him in that capacity," said Attorney B'Ivory LaMarr, per CBS58's report. The legal team signals an aggressive pursuit of justice, demanding childcare facilities to enforce surveillance as a means to capture and thereby prevent such incidents, with LaMarr adding, "We will be initiating contact with the KinderCare facility, we will be aggressively pursuing all of the investigative records, we already have an open records request that went out."
