The Army‘s Criminal Investigation Division, or CID, is investigating an incident in which a child was repeatedly touched inappropriately at a day care center in Pennsylvania run by the service, which the parents claim failed to quickly notify them of the incident.
Evelin Weber said that her 4-year-old child was touched at the military day care at Carlisle Barracks — home of the U.S. Army War College. The mother and her lawyer say that her 4-year-old was touched inappropriately multiple times at the Moore Child Development Center. The child has since developed early signs of behavioral health issues, according to Weber.
U.S. Army Garrison Carlisle Barracks said in a statement Wednesday that a caregiver at the child development center reported the incidents to day care leadership, and a Family Advocacy Program clinical case worker, CID and Child Protective Services were immediately notified. Parents of the children involved were informed within 24 hours — on Dec. 7 — of the day care discovering the incidents, the base said.
