More "red flags" against the owner of a Mesquite Daycare accused of endangering children

The family of a child who attended a Mesquite daycare run by a woman accused of endangering children said that they suspected something was wrong.

Rebecca Anderson, 60, is accused of bonding children to car seats and treating them to remain silent. She operated "Becky's Home Child Care" until late last week when Mesquite police executed a search warrant at the daycare.

The police were informed by a relative who secretly recorded Anderson. Police said the video shows a boy torn off his car seat, fed an unknown substance with the help of a syringe, and then picked up on the floor by a bib around by the neck.

Anderson is charged with nine counts of endangering a child and a charge of wounding a child.

"I was suspicious but we had no evidence," said Keonna Oliver, a grandmother who took her two-year-old grandson daily to daycare.

Oliver says she did her due diligence last year when looking for daycare for Triston, 2 years old. The five-star critics of Becky's Home Child Care convinced her.

"She won prizes, so everything was convincing," Oliver said.

Triston, she says, went to Becky's home daycare for 14 months.

He was deported last month because of planning and not security issues.

Yet, she says, Triston came home with bruises, scratches, and rashes.

"Everything we asked her about it would be easier. "He played very hard today, I did not notice," she recalls.

Police raided the daycare on Friday, finding children in dark rooms attached to car seats with "shoe-type ligatures", which, according to police, appeared to be used to limit travel. .

According to the police, Anderson admitted to "probably giving Tylenol to all the children … to stop them from crying and to facilitate his work".

Oliver says she's found another daycare, but is wary of leaving him with someone after learning the unthinkable accusations involving the most innocent victims.

"You think" home care ", you think safe, like at home and it turned out to be something totally different and we are so disappointed," she said.

Anderson is fired by the state.

The records show that her daycare had been inspected twice in the last three years.

The only deficiency reported was in 2016 for not completing an emergency preparedness plan.

Tuesday night, Anderson stayed in Dallas County Jail.
