The parents of a four-year-old girl are calling for action after their daughter was duct-taped to a chair while at daycare.

Christian Evans and Elysha Brooks of Florissant, Missouri explained that they were informed by the Missouri Department of Children and Family Services after they were sent a photo that showed their daughter being restrained in a chair, according to KTVI.

"I'm looking at a picture of my daughter duct-taped to a chair, and her facial expression, I can just imagine how she felt," Brooks said, KFVS reports.

Brooks continued by saying that she won't be satisfied until there are repercussions against the daycare and the employees.

"I won't be happy until that daycare is shut down, for one, and whoever did this to my child, whoever it is, either – it's not an either – she needs to be in jail," he said.

In a Facebook post to speak out about the subject, Brooks wrote: "One of her teachers DuctTaped her to a Chair and posted her on SC [Snapchat]. Received a call from a hotline and they sent me this pic of my baby. This incident supposedly happened in March and the daycare still fail (sic) to inform us of the situation. Also failed to document a[n] incident of a rock being lodged in my baby ear that almost damaged her eardrum..."

"Seeing your child duck taped to a chair, seeing the anxiety, seeing how scared your kid is, knowing for one that you're not there to protect them and knowing for two that you have people around that would stoop to that level to hurt your child puts you in a crazy mind state," Evans said.

While there is an investigation ongoing into the issue, Brooks is issuing a warning to other families.

"Double check on these day-cares before you go to them because I thought my daughter was safe," Brooks said.
