A Florida woman has been arrested after threatening to set fire to a daycare center in Boynton Beach. Hany Matozes More, 38, is facing charges of making written or electronic threats to kill or do bodily injury, in an alarming series of events that saw her clashing with the foster parents of her daughter.

The ordeal began on New Year's Eve 2024 when More showed up at KinderCare daycare, requesting to see her daughter but was refused entry. According to CBS12, she returned on January 23 in an attempt to remove her child from the premises but was unsuccessful. Adding to an escalation, she later posted a video on Instagram discussing her frustrations with the court and the loss of custody.

More's attempts to reconnect with her daughter took a disturbing turn when, last Wednesday, January 29, a foster parent discovered a hole cut in the daycare's fence and a tracking device concealed inside a stuffed animal given by More. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reported that the following day, More was equipped with a butane torch and fire extinguisher when she approached the daycare, but fortunately, security intervened before any harm could ensue, as covered by WPBF.

Investigations subsequently uncovered two backpacks near the daycare that contained bottles of gasoline and flammable materials. Authorities also found More's Cuban Identification card, linking her directly to the potential arson materials. The threat to the daycare was initially conveyed in an audio message sent via WhatsApp, in which More allegedly declared she would burn down the daycare if she did not get her child back. This message, channeled through More's mother in Italy, came to the attention of the foster parent as well as law enforcement.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is continuing their investigation into More's actions. Meanwhile, she was arrested on Sunday, for the severe charges of electronic threats of violence, a second-degree felony in the state of Florida.
