A day care worker has been arrested and an emergency order issued to close Discovering Basics in Clermont after a toddler was allegedly burned there. The 16-month-old Damon Gaddis was burned the morning of June 13 while in the care of Eddye Pittmon, 55, of Talmo, according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Nicole Bailes, spokeswoman with the sheriff’s office, said Gaddis received injuries that caused “great pain” approximately eight hours before he was picked up by his mother Megan Seabolt.
