She noticed an entire braid was ripped from her scalp when she picked her up. She said it looked painful and could see her hair folicles. 

The girl's parents took her to a doctor, who said something forceful had been used on their daughter's hair. They also spoke with the Department of Children and Family Services and filed a report with police. 

In a statment, the Kindercare said, “although no injury occurred, we also reported the incident to state licensing, so that they may look into the matter for themselves, if they so choose."
