A single mom notices her three-year-old son suddenly becoming terrified of daycare, especially at lunchtime. After promising to pick him up early, she secretly observes the lunchroom and discovers an unvetted volunteer force-feeding and humiliating children who won’t finish their meals.
She confronts the daycare, reports them to the state, and uncovers widespread violations. The center loses its license, protecting other kids too. Her son moves to a safer daycare, regains his joy, and she learns a powerful lesson: always listen when a child says they’re scared—no matter how small it sounds.
