Clay’s first day at Little Blessings Child Care was August 11, 2025 the same day as the assault. When Clay’s father arrived at the daycare to pick his child up, he saw bruises and scratches on the boy’s face.
Clay’s father took pictures and confronted the daycare staff, but the staff acted oblivious to the situation. The dad stayed at the scene and called police along with the City of Bainbridge Public Safety.
Officials arrived on scene and watched surveillance video from the daycare. Upon that, Yvette was arrested charged with first degree aggravated battery and three counts of first degree child abuse. The crime of child abuse is a rising concern, as more kids are abused than what most people know.
