Lawsuit: Children as young as 2 abused at Monroe day care

MONROE — Five parents have filed a lawsuit against the Monroe-based day care Kid’s Country, alleging staff abused their children.

Children as young as 2 were abused by “throwing, hitting, kicking, pushing, taunting, yelling at and threatening physical punishment” at Kid’s Country, 14943 North Kelsey St., according to the lawsuit filed last week in Snohomish County Superior Court.

The Monroe Police Department was investigating Kid’s Country and Tristina Smith, a staff member at the facility. Child Protective Services was assisting in the police investigation, according to the lawsuit.

“The health and safety of our children is our upmost priority,” a spokesperson for the learning center said. “We are working in full cooperation with CPS to bring this investigation to a close.”
