We cant fkn believe it me and my girl are in shock ! Last friday we went to town to do some shoppin so we thought wewld put our 6 monthold daughter in a child care centre for the afternoon ,so we cld blow a joint and do some fun shit. Well our fun afternoon turned shit,when we get to childcare to pick Chloe up she has been bitten on the face near her eye by a toddler. the bite had actually broken the skin and was bruised.When we asked what had happened they fogged us off with bullshit and didnt even give us a proper explaination.Soo fkn angry and upset for our baby we stormed out tellin them we wld never be comming back. Now we still have no aswers and are being treat like trouble makers when we ring the manager 4 an explaination. So now we are considering legal action, we dont want to go down this road but we want to know how this could happen to a 6 monthold baby in supposed care its fucked ip.....What do u guys reckon we shld do just after a general opinion. ill try to post pic of her bite if i get any interest in this thread.

So you put your daughter away in a faciltity so that you and your girl could smoke and do 'fun' stuff...........I'll leave that alone at the moment...

Your first mistake...well, second, is that you should have checked out the facility before hand. In these crazy times, anybody who leaves their kid anywhere without knowing the enviorment and getting referrals is a...is foolish. Any reputable child care facility (at least in the U.S.) will allow you a tour, allow you to sit-in and watch the operation, and will provide you with referrals from other parents. If they don't allow any of that, you need to keep on walking.

As to how would I feel...given the situation you described, I'd feel like a bad parent for shucking my kid off so I could smoke weed. But hey, that's just me.

I'm not saying what you did was RIGHT but I appreciate the fact that you didn't want to bring your baby girl into your pot-smokin' life style. That's a good thing, only because she's so young and could be potentially at risk for danger.

The fact that the child care facility wasn't keeping a close eye on your daughter is a serious problem. Please post a picture, if it's bad enough to jump into sueing or something, then I would. BUT if it's a small injury and obviously a mistake I would just learn from that and check into the facilities a lil deeper. I'm not blaming anyone, but I think this is just a really bad situation for you and your missus. I hope your daughter isn't too hurt

Man thats cool we were told abt this centre by friends theyre kids go there . And we didnt just dump her so we cld get high . We just live along way frm town and thought it better 4 her than bein dragged all over town .wether i smoke weed isnt the issue here man of course i do after all this is cannabis .com the issue is the lack of care provided.

Hey, no worries. You have to understand; my wife and I lost a baby last year. When it comes to children, I'm very sensitive. They are God's most precious gift in this world. So IMO, you should have the utmost dilligence in caring for your children. No, there isn't an issue with you being a weed smoking parent. Like BFA said, it's better not to expose them to that enviorment. But certainly, you can appreciate where I was going with that.

But again, you can't go by referrals alone. A facility needs to let you do all three of things (tour, observe, referrals). If they are unwilling to do any part of it, then you should be unwilling to leave your child there. That's for future knowledge. As for now, you need to check what kind of recourse you have. You're not in the U.S. (I assume) so I have no idea what rules govern childcare where you are. If you can, you should A.) contact the corporate office and demand an explanation, B.) contact whatever agency governs childcare (if applicable) and see how you can lodge a complaint, and/or C.) threaten to take it to your local media...no one likes bad press.

Good luck and I do sincerely hope that your daughter is OK. It was probably just children getting out of hand, but still, those folks are paid to monitor and prevent such things. Somebody fell asleep on the job.

i understand ur point of view and respect it. this was the 1st time we used childcare and will be the last .

Oh man... poor baby! We had the same problem when my son used to go to daycare, from the time he was about 13 months to 17 months. He actually got bit several times over the course of that time, and every time the daycare had to fill out an accident report and had us sign it. Everything like that SHOULD be documented.

Now here's my question- what was your 6 month old daughter doing in the same room as a kid old enough to bite like that? Usually children are segregated into different rooms by age, 2 year olds with 2 year olds, infants with infants, etc... And obviously your daughter is not old enough to actually provoke a biting, so where was the supervision there? Odds are, the kid who bit her has a history of doing it, and if that's the case, he should be removed from the daycare; at the very least, watched VERY carefully and supervised at all times.

You did the right thing by taking pictures... I suggest keeping those and getting some sort of documentation from the daycare as to what happened. They at least owe you an explanation... and maybe even the money you paid for Chloe to spend the day there that day. I hope it all works out for you and she's bite-mark free soon!

BigCalhoun- I'm so sorry you lost a baby... my husband and I also lost a baby, our first son almost 5 years ago, and it's the absolute worst thing that could ever happen. I know what it's like to sensitive when it comes to children, I'm the same way. Just wanted to send a hug and some understanding your way...

these are the same questions we asked the centre and the only document we saw was an accident report thats all, they wont answer our questions and are acting rude toward us.
