As they were exiting the facility, the child was hit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The boy is expected to recover.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Personally, I feel grotesque. It&#8217;s like it&#8217;s my child,&#8221; said Sterling. &#8220;I think we all have loved ones and little ones that we hold dear to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anytime something like this happens, it can feel like a personal travesty,&#8221; Sterling continued. &#8220;My staff heard it. The mood changed in 2.5 seconds and it went from happy-go-lucky day care to\u2026.it just turned very, very fast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The day care director said they will be having their own investigation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re actually doing our own investigation where we want to screen cameras, we want to do an incident report and actually contact the mom to make sure that she&#8217;s OK and that everything is moving swiftly,&#8221; said Sterling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a developing story.
