9 Jul
Summary
- A 23-month-old child sustained a traumatic brain injury.
- The incident occurred at a fitness club daycare in Southern California.
- Parents have filed a lawsuit against the daycare facility.
A traumatic brain injury was inflicted upon a 23-month-old child at a Southern California fitness club's daycare. The incident occurred on March 17, 2025, when an employee allegedly threw the child into the air and failed to catch him, causing him to fall and hit his head. The employee then reportedly lost her balance and fell onto the child.
CCTV footage has surfaced, documenting the distressing event. The video shows the child running to the caretaker, who then swings him and throws him overhead. The child falls to the ground, and the worker also tumbles onto him. The parents of the child, Matthew and Elena Kittle, have filed a lawsuit on July 2, citing negligence and intentional concealment among other charges.
The lawsuit claims that The Bay Club downplayed the severity of the concussion and resulting side effects. The club has stated it cannot comment on the ongoing litigation but affirmed that the safety of its members and families is their top priority.
