Children's Protective Services Investigating Allegations Warren Daycare Restrained Boy, 5, in Chair Multiple Times

Amari Dinkins, 5,

Children’s Protective Services and Michigan’s Childcare Licensing Bureau are investigating a Warren daycare center and allegations that a five-year-old boy was restrained in a chair on multiple occasions, Fox 2 reports.

The boy's mother, Soleil Williams, tells Fox 2 an investigator called to inform her they were investigating allegations involving her son, Amari Dinkins, being restrained at Kid’s Avenue Christian Learning Center on Van Dyke in Warren.

"She called me and said there is an investigation going on with Amari and the childcare center, and some abuse with him being held down to a chair with restraints," Williams said. "Like, ‘Oh my God, what are you guys doing to my kid? What type of force are you using?’ Because restraining someone takes a lot of force."

She said her son has cognitive speech delays, but does not have behavioral issues and insisted there's no reason to restrain him.
