Authorities have charged the owner and site director of the Clermont day care where a 16-month-old toddler was allegedly burned, and the day care withdrew its appeal of an order to close. Discovering Basics owner Minnie “Sue” Dupree, 66, and site director Tara Miller, 40, both of Gainesville, were arrested Monday by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office after further investigation into the burning of Damon Gaddis, a child at the day care. Miller is the daughter of Dupree.
