According to various sites, police claim a former employee of a Mississippi daycare center was detained after being accused of biting a young kid while at work. Haley Rozek, 26, was arrested on Monday and has since been charged with felony child abuse in connection with the alleged incident that took place in December at The Kids Company daycare in Jones County.
When the mother of a young child at the facility noticed what seemed to be bite marks on her son's arm, she alerted the police. According to Jones County Sheriff's Department Investigator Denny Graham, "The daycare employees were interviewed and one of the employees, Haley Rozek, admitted to biting the child on the arm. She stated that … the child was upset, she was trying to calm the child down, blowing on his arm and he pulled away and she inadvertently bit him."

Furthermore, the
Laurel Leader Call claims that Rozek applied for unemployment benefits after being fired from the daycare facility, stating she was "fired because she accidentally bit a child."
On another note, since her arrest, the former Mississippi daycare center employee has apparently been released on bond, according to reports. However, it's unknown if she has legal representation or if she has pleaded guilty to the charge against her.
The Kids Company have not yet commented regarding the incident.
