Parents testify that daycare provider Meggin Van Hoof lied about 15-month-old Nathaniel McLellan’s collapse in 2015.
A London, Ont., court heard testimony from two parents who used Meggin Van Hoof’s unlicensed home daycare, where 15-month-old Nathaniel McLellan died in 2015.
Shanlea Tyler said Van Hoof claimed Nathaniel had a fall over the weekend during a home renovation, contradicting Nathaniel’s parents, who said he was healthy during a birthday party.
Tyler also recalled Van Hoof saying Nathaniel was sleepy and grumpy that morning before collapsing at the daycare.
Another parent, Jennifer Bougard, said she saw a police cruiser and received a text from Van Hoof about Nathaniel’s collapse and hospitalization.
The Crown alleges Van Hoof either caused the injury or failed to seek timely medical help.
The judge will determine the credibility of the testimony.
