The parents of a 2-year-old are calling for accountability after a toddler lost part of his finger at a North Carolina day care.
On Feb. 20, Tonishia Anthony dropped off her son, Se’awn Sutton, at Rising Stars of Farmville, a local day care. Around 11 a.m., Anthony received a notification from the dayc are that Se’awn hurt his finger.
Anthony said when she got to the day care, she could not believe what she saw.
“They unwrapped his hand and the only thing I could say was, ‘Oh my God.’ It was so bad, I couldn’t even stomach it, it was so bad,” Anthony said.
Anthony rushed Se’awn to the ECU Health Medical Center emergency room, with Shawn Sutton, Se’awn’s dad, meeting them there.
Surgeons tried to reattach Se’awn’s finger but were unsuccessful.
Nexstar’s WNCT reached out to Rising Stars of Farmville. In an e-mail statement, they wrote:
