I am very sorry to hear this experience has happened to you and your child.

Taking the pictures was a smart move, but unfortunately the pictures don't tell the whole story, and they aren't necessary solid evidence that it was cause by a particular person.

Sometimes as adults we can under estimate just how much strength we really have. And in some situations a child needs to be restrained in order to prevent injury to themselves or others. But as the provider, she should have informed you of this when you picked your child up, that there was a need to grasp him firmly or something. If she didn't intentionally harm him is what I mean.

By the sounds of it she has not gotten away with anything, though. It may have been an accident, and maybe in the moment she grabbed on a little to hard. But there is no way to prove that she did or didn't, and unfortunately, they can only do so much.

You did the right thing by contacting immediately, seems as though you have asked all the right questions, and I hope your son is alright.
