Daycare Worker Accused of Unlawful Conduct

(Columbia, South Carolina) A 44-year-old daycare worker at Lollipop Lane Day Care, Deidre K. Goff, has been arrested for alleged unlawful conduct toward a child. Goff reportedly was providing care when a three-month-old baby sustained a fractured skull.

Goff claimed the child had merely hurt his face on a toy while in a play center used to help gain leg strength. State child-protection investigators were suspicious of Goff's story, according to Department of Social Services attorney Virginia Williamson.

Goff was booked into custody and released on $10,000 bond.
