Rosalynn, only 15 months old, had been in her new nursery in Arizona (United States) for five days, when her mother picked her up full of bites on her back. The woman did not give credit to what she was seeing, and kept wondering how no responsible person had noticed the situation.
Although nursery accidents can occur, picking up your baby with a body full of bites is totally unacceptable. What to do before such a case?
More than 25 bites ... how can it be possible?
When Alice Bryant picked up her daughter from the hatchery on February 26, nothing made her suspect the ordeal that her 15-month-old girl had spent that day. No one informed him of any notable fact, and although he noticed his somewhat strange girl, he could never imagine the reasons.
And when he came home and prepared to change his clothes, discovered in horror over 25 bite signals spread all over the back, shoulders and arms. Alice confesses that at first she could not believe what she was seeing, but when she realized that they were indeed bites, she began to cry in pain and helplessness.
In Babies and more A 22-month-old girl could have suffered 30 bites at daycareImmediately, the woman took photographs of the state in which her daughter was and denounced the Tucson Police, who referred the case to State Health Services to open an investigation. However, two months later, Alice still does not receive an explanation for what happened, and neither the nursery nor the Health Services have contacted her.
So, tired of the slowness with which the authorities were taking his case, he decided to publish what happened in his Facebook account and quickly his publication went viral:
"As a mother, all you want is to protect your children, but I feel that this did not happen when I left her in that nursery. I feel I left her in the hands of someone who did not take care of her at all" - the woman laments.
"I don't know what happened that day, but I just know that a child who is bitten so many times has to cry and scream. The fact that nobody intervened for the entire time my daughter was crying, it makes me angry. Maybe the children were alone, or maybe whoever was in charge simply ignored my baby's cries of pain. But it takes a long time to do something like that "
According to the media, the nursery was audited in July 2018 and the report that was presented indicated several deficiencies, such as a lack of registration of children entering and leaving the center, and staff who were unaware of the number of children in their care.
In Babies and more Choosing a nursery school: what to consider before decidingWhat to do in such a situation?
When we leave our baby in the nursery school, all we hope is that he is at ease, properly cared for by the staff in charge and happy.
But nevertheless, it is normal for fights among young children, hair pulling, small bites ... This happens because babies do not know how to handle their frustration or anger, hence they need strategies to learn to channel their emotions in a positive way, based on a lot of love and patience.
In Babies and more, they expel a 15-month-old child from the nursery for biting other children And while parents and educators do this work and teach the child from respect and dialogue, the staff that is in charge of the children in the nursery should ensure that such episodes do not happen. But, if unfortunately they occur, it is paramount inform both families from absolute transparency, and find a way to work together so that the episode does not fly again.
But What happens if the nursery tells us nothing and when we undress our baby we find signs of aggressions like these? In my opinion, this mother's way of proceeding (which we have also seen in other similar cases) should be the one that prevails, in addition to asking the nursery for responsibilities. In this sense, if the center has security cameras installed, it could be known in detail what happened.
It is intolerable that the personnel in charge leave children of such a young age alone, and even be absent enough time to allow such situations to occur. And if they were present, it is not justified in any way that The crying or crying of a baby was not immediately attendedWell, something very serious could be happening to you, as has happened on this occasion.
