STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. — Parents want a metro Atlanta daycare director held accountable after they say their 3-year-old daughter was attacked for 15 minutes with no adults paying attention.
They say their child was at Sunshine House Early Learning Center in Stockbridge without any supervision Nov. 18.

The child’s doctor said the girl had a human bite to the face, scratches and blunt force trauma to her head.
“I was heartbroken and I was irate when I found out the adults in the room did absolutely nothing to stop what was happening for those 15 minutes,” her father, Ralph Culpepper, told Channel 2’s Tyisha Fernandes.
One of the things Sunshine House locations promote is their surveillance cameras that run all day long.
Culpepper said administrators did not want to let he and his wife look at the video capturing his daughter’s incident. He had to go to the company’s corporate staff and the state to see it.
“They made it seem like she was bumped into, or like they were just pulling over a toy, but when we got to the school and we saw her face - we saw scratches, there were bruises, she had bleeding. It was multiple scratches,” he said.
In the state’s report, investigators said they found that the required adult supervision level was not met.
“They’re not being attentive to 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds in the classroom,” Culpepper said.
A spokesperson for Sunshine House did not respond to a request for comment.
