WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. – Authorities are interviewing more students at a daycare in an ongoing suspected child abuse investigation.

Christopher Titus is facing accusations of sodomy and child molestation against two children at Here We Grow Early Care and Education in Webster Groves. Last week, FOX 2 News uncovered allegations against Titus dating back to 2019. The St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is revisiting the old allegations and will look back to the beginning of Titus’ employment at Here We Grow in 2018.

“When I saw the news that night, I was like, nope. I’m not sending her back tomorrow,” parent Kristen Pierce said.

Pierce immediately pulled her daughter out of school at Here We Grow in March when Titus was first charged.

“I’ll never know if I’m asking the right questions, so that’s why I enrolled her in play therapy. Also, because it was such an abrupt change for her,” Pierce said. “We pulled her away from all of her friends, her teachers that she did love, and just pulled her out immediately and said, ‘You’re not going back.’”

The case was transferred to St. Charles County due to a reported conflict in St. Louis County. Prosecutors in St. Charles County are speaking with several other kids and their families.

“It’s a very active case right now. I know the interviews were conducted; some yesterday and some today,” St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney Joe McCulloch said.

Titus was hired in 2018. The first allegations were made against him in 2019, but they were found unsubstantiated at the time.

“I know there were some reports of concerns expressed a few years ago. I think that those are going to be looked into again, but we’re also looking from that time period until now, the entire time that he’s been working there,” McCulloch said.

As the investigation is moving forward, Pierce is worried more will come forward and fears what still might be found.

“It makes me sick to my stomach knowing all of the children that might’ve been held victim to him,” she said.

Mcculloch said that if anyone used this facility in recent years, parents should be sure to talk to their children about their experience.

Here We Grow is appealing the state’s effort to revoke its license. Here We Grow says that Titus was deemed eligible for employment by the state as recently as August.
