Muhlenberg County day care director charged with abuse

A former Muhlenberg County Public School System daycare director has been charged with criminal child abuse.

The Muhlenberg County Sheriff’s Office says they received a complaint January 30 regarding an incident at the Shining Start Daycare Center.

Investigation led to the department charging Amanda Camp with criminal abuse in the third-degree.

Police say the allegation of a staff member subjecting a student to an unapproved punishment was immediately reported to the sheriff’s office by the school district.

The Muhlenberg County School System issued its own statement, saying Camp was the former director and that they are fully cooperating with the investigation.
