Police in suburban Homewood are investigating after a 4-year-old was allegedly put outside in sub-freezing temperatures as part of a “punishment” earlier this month.
According to authorities, a 58-year-old daycare worker allegedly placed the toddler outside in the alley of the daycare for approximately 20 seconds. At the time of the incident, the temperature outside was 19 degrees, according to police.
After that 20 seconds had elapsed, the toddler was brought inside and was placed in an empty garbage can “as a form of punishment,” police said.
