Shocking moment Las Vegas daycare teacher grabs three-year-old girl and flings her around 'like a ragdoll' as punishment - as her parents speak out against school that claims it wasn't child abuse

Newly released footage from a Las Vegas daycare shows the moment a teacher allegedly picks up and violently shakes a girl. 

Footage from DJ's Christian Preschool/Daycare shows Lilly Royal, 3, allegedly being vigorously picked up and swung back and forth by an unidentified teacher on April 19. 

Kayla Zomerdyk and Nashawn Royal, the parents of the young girl, were notified about the incident after it was reported by another teacher to the Henderson Police Department on the same day. 

Zomerdyk later said: 'Obviously seeing my child get snatched up like a little ragdoll is obviously something you don’t want to see. It’s definitely going to make you upset.

'They had the opportunity to be honest, upfront. Be accountable for everything that happened that day and prior, so they let that opportunity go', Royal added.

After the video went viral, the daycare center told 8NewsNow that the teacher has been fired. 

But that is not enough for the distressed parents. 

'So firing the teacher for me is not justice, because they never fired the teacher until the video went viral. 

'Justice for me is DJ's Christian Center getting completely shut down,' said the upset mother. 

The school has also denied all claims of child abuse and when asked why the incident happened, said: 'We're all human', according to the channel.

Officials have yet not arrested or charged the accused teacher. Parents of the young girl have also filed a complaint with child protective services.

According to Care.com, the daycare 'is a family-owned and operated business' for children between the ages of two weeks to five years old and uses the Abeka curriculum, a Christian-based teaching method. 

The Henderson Police Department has said an investigation is currently underway.
