Colorado daycare owner arrested for child abuse after 26 kids found behind 'false wall'

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KDVR) -- Three people have been arrested following the case of the Colorado Springs daycare that was recently shut down by the state, FOX21 reports.

Carla Faith, 58, owner of the Play Mountain Place and the Counterpoint School, was arrested Monday on child abuse charges. Employees Christina Swauger and Katelynne Nelson were also arrested.

DHS and Colorado Springs officers raided Play Mountain Place on Nov. 13 and immediately shut down the facility.

Investigators had found 26 children, all under 3 years old, concealed behind what police called a “false wall.”

Court documents show that Faith was arrested this week on two counts of misdemeanor child abuse and one felony count of attempting to influence a public servant. Nelson is also facing charges of possession of a controlled substance.
