East Dublin daycare owner charged with child cruelty, evidence tampering

The investigation started after a mother picked her child up from the daycare and saw they were injured

DUBLIN, Ga. — The owner of an East Dublin childcare center is facing charges of child cruelty after a mother reported her child had injuries last week.

According to a news release from the GBI, East Dublin Police Chief Bill Luecke requested GBI assistance with investigating allegations of child abuse at the Roseland Child Care Center.

Luecke’s request came after the mother of a child reported seeing injuries on her child after being at the daycare.

The owner, 49-year-old Sharon Mills of Rockledge, was arrested and charged with cruelty to children, tampering with evidence, influencing a witness, and giving false statements two days later on March 4.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information can call the GBI Regional Investigative Office in Eastman at 478-374-6988 or the East Dublin Police Department at 478-272-6883.
