Day care owner accused of tying kids to car seats for hours

The owner of a Dallas-area in-home day care accused of keeping infants and toddlers tied to their car seats for hours has been jailed on child endangerment charges.

An affidavit says Rebecca Anderson also yanked a 6-month-old child by the bib around his neck, tied laces around the children's necks to limit their movement and gave them the painkiller acetaminophen to quiet them.

The affidavit says the 60-year-old woman kept the small children tied up in car seats for at least seven hours a day at Becky's Home Child Care, her day care in Mesquite, Texas.

Anderson was booked Sunday night into the Dallas County jail on nine counts of child endangerment with bonds totaling $45,000. Jail records list no attorney to can speak on her behalf.

Detectives went to the daycare about 1:30 p.m. Friday with a search warrant. Anderson answered the door and told police there were five children in the home.

While police secured the home, detectives found three children in the master bedroom closet, strapped into plastic car seats. The doors were closed, and the lights were off in the room.

Nine children were found in the home, all tied with ligatures around their necks. Police later described the ligatures as cotton shoelaces.

Initially, Anderson denied she used medication on the children, but she later changed her story when detectives showed the video evidence.

She told police she gave the children Tylenol to “maker her job easier,” according to the warrant.
