A DAYCARE centre in Texas is being investigated after a mother claimed her child was duct taped to a bed.
An investigation has been launched after an employee at Heart2Heart Montessori Academy took a photo of a boy in a blanket strapped around his legs and chest to a sleeping mat. The employee circulated the photograph to parents and then resigned.
Lorrie Almquist, a mother of a three-year-old boy who was also restrained at the centre, said she was contacted by the co-owner Pam Decker to explain the situation.
"[The owner] proceeded to tell me that my son had not been napping and another little boy had not been napping and so she decided to duct tape them to his nap mat."
She then saw the devastating photographs and went straight to police.

Ms Almquist told ABC News: "I felt violated and I was irate. I couldn't find any words to say to her. I was so hurt and saddened to think that my child had to go through that."
Ms Almquist immediately withdrew her son.
"I just don't want this to ever happen again," Almquist said. "I don't think children should be treated this way."
An email from the owner of the centre, Ashlea Pena, to the parents said Pam Decker was devastated by "a very foolish decision she made" but that the child pictured was not "harmed or caused any distress".
A statement released publicly claimed the staff have "the best interest of the children and parents as our highest priority".
"The school has an exemplary performance history, and will work with childcare licensing authorities and cooperate fully with any investigation."
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services' Child Licensing Division have launched an investigation which could take a month to complete.
