Overview
- The complaint says the incident occurred on March 17, 2025, when a 23‑month‑old at the Bay Club El Segundo was allegedly swung into the air and dropped by a staff member.
- Security footage included with the suit appears to show the worker hoisting the child roughly six feet above the floor, losing hold, and the child hitting a hardwood surface before staff members reacted.
- Medical records cited in the filing say the child was diagnosed with a concussion and blunt head trauma and continues to suffer symptoms including hearing loss.
- The family filed the lawsuit on July 2, 2026, naming Bay Club entities and seeking a jury trial while alleging negligence, negligent hiring and supervision, fraud by concealment, battery, and emotional distress.
- A California Department of Social Services record search reported in coverage did not find a daycare license for the El Segundo facility, and the Bay Club has declined to comment because of ongoing litigation.
