MISSOURI – A nonprofit advocacy group is proposing legislation that would require public Missouri day care centers to have cameras.
The group, the Uvalde Foundation for Kids, said that the proposal would apply to licensed daycare facilities throughout the state. This legislation, called Conrad’s Law, is in response to 3-year-old Conrad Ashcraft, who died at the Poppy’s Playhouse 2 daycare this month.
Reports say that Ashcraft—who was crying—was secluded in the hallway. The Missouri Office of Childhood also said a provider at the daycare put Conrad’s arms in a tucked blanket and laid her legs down over his legs. It was an 18.2 lb. weighted blanket.
