FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Court documents released Wednesday provided details into the allegations of battery at a Fishers child care center.

Molly Taxter, 23, a former employee of a child care center in Fishers, was arrested Tuesday on 19 counts of battery just over a month after a concerned parent reported their child was suffering from bruising, police say. On Wednesday afternoon, online records showed the Noblesville woman remained in the Hamilton County jail on a $150,000 bond.

On March 16, the Fishers Police Department launched an investigation after a parent reported their child was suffering from a handprint bruise on her right leg after they came home from the Kiddie Academy child care center, 11703 Olio Road, a release said Tuesday. The parent immediately contacted the owner of the child care center and met to view the surveillance video from the classroom. Police say the video showed a child care employee physically abusing the child. The owner of the child care immediately fired that employee the same day.
