COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A judge has ordered Bright Achievers Pre-K in Austell be closed for 21 days. The day care is at the center of an alleged cover up by the owner after a 2-year-old was left in a day car van for hours.
Police have charged six people in the alleged cover-up for lying to a Department of Family and Child Services investigator, making up a field trip story and taking the center's video drives. The state's advocate called the alleged cover up disgusting.
The driver reported the child's clothes were soaked, her diaper wet, and that she was covered in sweat, according to a Cobb County warrant.
The 2-year-old's mother Quantina Russell says when she pressed for answers, the day care wasn't straight with her.
