The owner stated that she was trying to help the mother by referring her to early steps and completing an ASQ but the mother believed that there was nothing wrong with the child. Per the teacher, the child would not listen and he would throw toys at other students. On the last incident, he busted another childs lip when he threw a toy so the school decided to suspend the child for two days.
