A Texas daycare owner has been arrested for allegedly keeping children in closes where they were confined to their car seats at her in-home facility and giving them Tylenol. 

Rebecca Anderson, 60, was charged with nine counts of endangering a child on Friday. 

Police received their tip off from the father of a six-month-old boy who had fastened a hidden camera onto his car seat when he dropped him off at Anderson’s Mesquite, Texas, home. 

The footage showed her yanking him out of his car seat and giving him a substance with a plastic syringe. 

Rebecca Anderson, 60, was arrested on Friday at the day care she runs in Mesquite, Texas, where police found five children strapped into their car seats with ties around their necks.  She is shown left, in her mugshot, and right, in a social media photograph

She was also filmed yanking him by his bib, NBCDFW reports.

When police searched the house on Friday, they found three children in their car seats in the closet in her master bedroom and one more in the master bathroom. 

The children had shoelace like ties around their necks which had to be cut off. Anderson said she put them on there to restrict the children’s movement. 

When asked how many children were inside the home, police say she lied and told them there were only five.

They discovered another four kids moments later. 

Anderson told the officers that she sometimes left the kids in their car seats for up to seven hours a day and admitted giving them all Tylenol. 

Police say she gave them it in unNecessary doses which may have put them at risk. 

Anderson remains in custody on a $45,000 bond. 

Police in Mesquite are asking for anyone who fears their child may have been victimized by her to come forward.
