It happened at about 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Cedar Early Learning Center on Cedar Road in Cleveland.

“You hit my son over 30 times for no reason,” said Ryane Lamb, the mother of the 2-year-old.

He suffered welts and bruises on his legs. His mother and grandmother took him to the hospital Wednesday night. They also called police and filed a report.

As for the Cedar Early Learning Center, the day care administrator terminated the two employees as soon as she was made aware of the video. She is fully cooperating with police and is devastated she has to alert another parent what happened to their little girl.
