COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A daycare worker has a warrant issued for her arrest after being accused of child cruelty after an incident at a childcare facility in Cobb County.

According to the warrant from Cobb County court, on April 1, at Childtime of Kennesaw on Cobb Parkway, Misty Brealynn Lanier was seen on security cameras at the daycare dropping a girl onto a cot.

The child hit her head and after that, the video, according to court documents, shows Lanier hitting the child on her back and then walking away.
