In Delray Beach, FL a daycare was shut down. The reason is horrible. A 2 year old toddler was found dead in the daycares van that was parked on the daycare property. WOW! I can't imagine how the parents of this child feel. You bring your child to a place where they are suppose to care for your child until you return. Some parents don't have the choice, they have to work. Some parents don't have family or friends that can watch the child for them. Some parents don't trust certain people to actually care for their children. And so many parents, have to take their kids to a daycare. A place where the state has allowed people to bring their children with the comfort of knowing that they will come back and pick their child up at the end of a busy day.
I have so many questions concerning this issue.
1- How was a child forgotten about? Don't they perform head counts frequently?
2-How long was it before someone at this facility noticed that there was a child missing?
I mean this is not an accident if you want my opinion. This is just straight NEGLECT!
I mean even if they went on a field trip, there should be a head count when they get off the bus, at every stop they make, when they get back on the bus and when they exit the bus back at the facility. If they didn't do any of these and more, then they should be charged with NEGLECT! Sad!
Now as of this morning, I have learned that the facility was shut down by the health dept. I just hope that there weren't previous complaints made about this faciltiy that were overlooked, cause that will just make things much much worse.
My condelences to the family of this child. May God be with you during this time. You are truly in my prayers.
