FLUSHING, QUEENS — The unlicensed Flushing daycare center where a suicidal nanny slashed three newborns last year has been hit with a $10 million lawsuit, according to a news report.
The family of 13-month-old Chloe Cao, who suffered nerve damage and scarring from the attack, is suing the owners of the Mei Xin Care Center for negligence, the New York Post reported.
"It's terrible, at that tender age, to sustain that kind of injury," lawyer Kenneth Jiang told the Post after filing the family's suit in Queens Supreme Court.

Wang is now housed on Rikers Island and faces multiple attempted murder charges, according to the Post.
