We were at the CDC from 2008-2012. We left just before the first round of allegations.
First, the latest accusation against Ms. Vanessa Taylor do not surprise me. She would have been the first I suspected.  My son had her for a year. She is tough.  I was in the room once and she didn't know it, and the tone she used with the children was different than the one she used in front of parents.  I spoke to the Director, Ms. Murdock about it, only later to find out they were related somehow. When it was time for my older son to transition into that age room, I requested a different room (and got it). My older son told me not to let her take care of his brother because she was "mean". Hindsight being 20/20, I thought it was just verbal and assumed that someone monitored the videos - maybe not at all times, but periodically.
No, they never look until a parent makes a complaint.
When the first round of accusations came out, I was surprised.  Ms. Rebecca Smallwood (affectionately Miss BB) didn't seem the hitting type.  I have a video of my son crying FOR Miss BB during dinner one night. He really loved her.  She was stern but calm, and usually the one that just sat with the kids and read to them or did toys at the table.  She wasn't that interactive.
As others have stated, many childcare places have these issues. The pay is poor, and the requirements to get the job are minimal.  It doesn't attract the cream of the crop.  One reason I chose Ft Meyer was because they had all rooms under surveillance.  Too bad no one ever looks at it.
Personally, I had numerous issues over the four years we were there.  I frequently emailed Arleta Briner, and later learned that she and Monique Murdock were the best of pals.  I took to emailing the base CO only to be blown off.  Twice I submitted IG complaints on the place. Each time I submitted an IG complaint, the issue was quickly resolved.

Wow, I wish more parents would chime in.  I had no idea about this and the fact that your son didn't want his little brother in there... That is powerful.  Glad you listened to him.[/quote]
