4 year old boy bound and duct taped at daycare

Posted March 30th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.chron.com

A little boy was duct taped, bound and held over a trash can as punishment at a Texas daycare center.

Poor little guy. He’s only 4.

Suffice it to say, these people should not be in the business of caring for and protecting children.

George Block, 48, and his wife, Julia Block, 47, manager of the Young Years Day Care Center in Jasper, were charged with child endangerment.

They each face up to two years in state jail if convicted.

According to an arrest affidavit, George Block bound the boy’s wrists and feet on March 3 with duct tape before dangling him over a “metal trash dumpster” at the day care center.

Court papers say Julia Block approved her husband’s actions as discipline for the boy “after a day of very disruptive behavior.” George Block does not work at the day care center.

The 5-foot-10, 240-pound George Block is known at the facility as “Bigfoot.”

The boy told child abuse investigators that “Bigfoot” wrapped his wrists and ankles with tape and held him over a large trash receptacle, according to court papers.
