Police swarm Fort Myers day care Saturday afternoon

A day care in Fort Myers was swarmed by police Saturday afternoon.

Scared parents say they were shocked at what they found at Royal Crown Academy day care, located near Summerlin Road and Colonial Boulevard.

Fort Myers Police will not confirm much information at this time, but according to one mother who uses the day care, when she arrived to pick up her daughter, she found the children abandoned.

“So I’m banging on the door, banging on the door for a good 15 minutes, and this little boy about two years old opens the door and I’m like “where’s your teacher?” and he’s like “I don’t know,”” said concerned mother Aniah Fennie.

“So my daughter is in there hollering and screaming, she didn’t even eat anything, her diaper was filled with poop, her clothes were destroyed, she’s sitting in the little baby chair while the other kids are running around,” Fennie added.

WINK News reached out to the day care for comment and they said the children were only left alone for four minutes and they are cooperating with Fort Myers Police by giving them video from inside the facility. The employee responsible was fired.

The day care also says they sent a text message to parents explaining what happened.

Meanwhile, Fort Myers Police say they are investigating the situation and cannot release any more information at this time.
