Johnathan Desmond Cummings
Police officers were called to the 13600 block of Wood Ember Drive in
Upper Marlboro on January 7, 2013, for the report of physical child abuse.
The investigation revealed an unlicensed residential day care was
operating at that location. The
detectives learned Cummings, who is employed as a caregiver at the residence,
assaulted a two year-old boy under his care.
A witness captured the incident on video, which alerted parents to the
assault.
Cummings is charged with physical child abuse and second degree assault.
Cummings, who admitted to kicking the
child, has been released on a $35,000 bond.
Detectives believe there may be additional victims.
The Maryland State Department of Education’s Office of Child Care has
issued the unlicensed day care center a cease and desist order. The owners were informed they can not provide
day care services until they have been properly licensed.

It's real sad when an adult has to beat and abuse little children. Real sad!
