Daycare Owner Arrested After A 2-Year-Old Is Found Unconscious

A 2 year-old Tulsa boy has died Thursday after DHS officials found him unconscious at a daycare in the 2600 block of east Third Street. Tulsa police arrested the woman who runs the daycare, 42-year-old Vicki Chiles. Officers say the boy was unconscious and didn't have a heartbeat. He was rushed to the hospital where he was in critical condition with no brain activity. He later died at the hospital. In a police report, Chiles told detectives the boy would not stay quiet for nap time. She told police she tied his hands together with masking tape, then put tape over his mouth to keep him quiet. Officers say the daycare has had complaints made against it.
"She's been in contact with DHS. DHS was in the midst of an investigation on how she was running her daycare, and that's why they had come out here, to do a surprise inspection," said Tulsa Police Officer Jason Willingham.
Chiles faces one charge of abuse of a minor child from a previous incident, and also faces a charge of injury to a minor child.
Daycare Worker Accused Of Killing Child Was Already Under Investigation

Some Tulsa parents are outraged after learning the woman they trusted to take of their children is accused of killing a child. Department of Human Services workers say they found an unconscious 2-year-old at a Midtown daycare on Thursday. He was rushed to the hospital, but he died late Thursday night. Daycare owner, Vicki Chiles, is now charged with first degree murder. News On 6 anchor Latoya Silmon reports, some parents want to know how this could have happened.
Like other parents who brought their children to Chiles daycare, the Hudson's thought their two boys were safe.
"She took our children to church, they prayed before every meal," said parent Jenna Hudson.
Now they're questioning what else Vicki Chiles may have done, because now she is charged with murder.
"Disbelief. I'm angry. I'm mad that someone I trusted my children with could do something so horrid," Hudson said.
Even more disturbing to the Hudson's, Chiles was already under investigation. On Tuesday, the state filed felony child abuse charges against Chiles. In that case she's accused of hitting an 8-year-old boy numerous times with a fly-swatter. Because of that charge DHS came to the house hoping to shut the facility down, when the arrived they discovered the 2-year-old unconscious.
"I can't talk about this specific case," DHS Spokesperson Mary Leaver said.
But the Hudson's say there should have never been a second case.
"Ultimately this was the doing of Mrs. Chiles, but we feel part of the negligence goes to the state for not contacting us parents and letting us make decisions for our children as parents," parent Jonathan Hudson said.
"It's a tragedy we very much feel for the parents of the child, and we feel the parents who have other children at the daycare," Leaver said. "It's a tragic situation. We feel very confident that our workers operated in the processes and all of the procedures at this point we can't speculate."
Chiles has had her DHS license since 2002. Since then the agency says there were a minimum of three unannounced visits a year. During some of those visits they found safety violations, children that were not immunized, and at times, too many children and not enough caregivers.
On two separate occasions DHS also investigated abuse allegations, but they were not substantiated.
