It has been brought to our attention that the Prosecuting Attorney is offering Emily Hammerly a plea deal for her heinous crime she committed, versus labeling her a felon for child endangerment and lack of reporting. Emily owned a childcare center in Lee's Summit, Missouri (Little Learner at 800 SE Church St) where it was reported to her that her son, Joseph Hammerly, was sexually abusing children in his care. Instead of Emily reporting this crime, she spoke with her son and allowed him to return to work at the childcare so he would appear innocent. This put additional children in danger, while Emily was protecting her son and assets.

The abuse committed impacted at least THREE little girls who were allegedly sexually abused inside of Emily's center while she failed to report the crime AND put more children in danger. Emily deserves MORE than a misdemeanor for her actions. She deserves to be labeled a "FELON" the rest of her life. The poor children are now "VICTIMS" because of her lack of protecting them.

In addition, Emily currently plans for her sister, Angie Watkins (owner of Summit Children Center in Lee's Summit) to open a new childcare center inside the same building as Little Learner. This is WRONG. Emily should never be allowed to own property that functions as a childcare center. This trauma will last the families/children a LIFETIME and Emily will only have the same consequence she would get for speeding!

This must be STOPPED!! The plea bargain is going in front of a judge MONDAY MORNING 6/28/21. PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE to show your support for Emily being a FELON.
