It happened on Sept. 11 when a teacher bit a 13-month-old child after he reportedly bit another teacher at the school. The 13-month old was left with a bite mark on his left shoulder, according to a police report.
Investigators also say a witness immediately went to tell the manager of the facility, the owner of the school, located at 5490 Staples Mill Plaza in Dale City, only to have it fall on deaf ears. The owner failed to report the incident to child protective services which is what is required by law, police said.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — More changes are coming to the leadership at ACTS.
Rebecca McGee, who has served as deputy director of the charitable organization for the past nine years, will leave the beginning of October. She’s moving to Arizona with her husband to be closer to her parents who relocated there in May.
Around the beginning of August I broke the news my husband and I were going to be leaving Prince William County. I was so devastated by the changes coming to our lives that I wrote a column, comparing the relocation to the five stages of loss and grief. We typically think of those stages as
part of dying, but they are applicable to any major event in life that causes upheaval and loss.
