The mother of 5-year-old Beautiful, Michelae Jones, and Beautiful’s aunt Kira Townsend, speak with KTLA-TV about a shoe-throwing incident at the child’s daycare center in Inglewood. Daycare workers in Inglewood were fired after a video surfaced showing an aide throwing a shoe at a 5-year-old. “Again, we are deeply sorry, and this is a terrible incident, and it does not define our school,” she added. It does not define what I’ve taken 15 years to build.”AdvertisementThe child’s mother, Michelae Jones, told KTLA5 that her daughter told her about the incident. She then confronted the director of the daycare but “staff members were slow to respond.”“I’ve been with these people for three years,” Jones told the station.
