Candace Clark thought she was leaving her 4-month-old daughter in good hands.

The 31-year-old woman, Bridgett Jones, was put together. She kept her house clean. She had a healthy 7-month-old son. She would text Clark every now and then to let her know that all was well. When Clark picked her daughter up each day from Jones, the baby was always clean and smelled good.

Once, Clark sat in on Jones for an hour while she cared for her daughter and other kids and everything seemed fine.

But everything was not fine.

A few days ago, Clark’s sister — who brought her 6-month-old daughter to Jones for child care as well — found out that her daughter’s left leg was broken. It was a spiral fracture, the kind that happens when a bone is twisted.
