The parents of a Wantagh 3-year-old with autism say he came home from the Tutor Time of Levittown with unexplained bruises and cuts on multiple occasions.

Bernie and Kristin Petty, of Wantagh, say they wanted to share their story to make sure this doesn't happen again to another child.

Their 3-year-old son Shane was diagnosed with autism last year. 

Back in March, the parents of the energetic toddler noticed something off when they picked him up from the Tutor Time in Levittown.

"I noticed a mark on his clavicle, on his arm, and on his back,” said K. Petty. 

Then a week later, she noticed something else.

"There's a bruise on his temple and a 4-inch gash on his leg,” she said.

Almost a month later, his father Bernie got a shocking call at work.

"Kristin calls me and says that Shane has a black eye,” he said.

Each time, they asked to see surveillance video from the day care.

The Pettys say they haven't seen a single clip and said staff only filed a report after one incident.

"It upsets me as a former investigator because you know I would've loved to work this case. It's easy,” said B. Petty. 

The family says they tried working with day care management but say their concerns were never taken seriously.

"I handed him to the teacher, and I was crying,” said K. Petty. “And she was like, 'What's wrong?' I'm like, 'I don't feel safe leaving him here.'"

Tutor Time says the family's claims were investigated and found to be unsubstantiated.

In a statement, a spokesperson tells News 12, “The safety and wellbeing of the children we serve is our highest priority. We take all concerns brought to us very seriously and have partnered with our licensing department to investigate anything brought to us and ensure the school continues to meet or exceed all guidelines for quality care, facilities, and staffing. Our facilities undergo routine updates, inspections, and maintenance to provide a safe, nurturing environment for the children in our schools. Additionally, our school menus are based on our GrowFit health and nutrition program which is design to provided well-rounded food selections that are approved by a registered dietician nutritionist and comply with USDA portion size and nutrition requirements.”

"I don't want any parent to have to cry when they're dropping their child off at day care,” said K. Petty. “I don't want any child to go through what Shane has gone through."

Nassau's Child Protective Services confirmed there is an open investigation into the Petty's claims.

The New York State Office Of Children And Family Services did not return News 12's request for comment.

The Petty's have since removed Shane from the facility.
