Toddler Severely Injured After LA-Area Daycare Employee Allegedly Throws Him Into Air, Lawsuit Says
The suit says security video shows an employee hoisting the 23-month-old about 6 feet before he fell and suffered a traumatic brain injury.
- A Los Angeles family filed a lawsuit against The Bay Club El Segundo after their 23-month-old son, C.K., suffered a traumatic brain injury when an employee allegedly dropped him on March 17, 2025.
- Security footage shows an employee hoisting C.K. 6 feet into the air before releasing him; the toddler fell and 'smashed his head on the hardwood floor,' the lawsuit alleged.
- Staff called father Matthew Kittle to say C.K. had 'since calmed down,' but security footage later proved the club's account was 'intentionally false and misleading,' according to the lawsuit.
- Upon arriving home, C.K. was 'extremely drowsy, lethargic, and irritable,' prompting a hospital visit where doctors diagnosed blunt head trauma and hearing loss, according to the lawsuit.
- The lawsuit alleges the club operated without a required California daycare license, while a spokesperson for the network of more than 30 locations stated they are 'unable to comment on ongoing litigation.
