it's so weird that even though i've been a teacher and worked in daycare type settings before that to take care of other people's kids, I'm really iffy about leaving MY kid with other people. Mostly because of idiots like this! Sometimes I feel like I can only trust family...and sometimes not even all of them! Hubby even has a co-worker that had their child die at a daycare center...not sure exactly what it was, but i know the cops were there and took someone away. Basically it wasn't an accident beyond their control. I also see some irresponsible daycare people at the park sometimes... they talk to their friends with their backs turned while 2 and 3 year olds run around unsupervised the entire time. Don't wanna make parents paranoid, but just sayin...choose your daycare providers wisely.
i have no idea, Nadia. What's scary is that sometimes it's not meant to be malicious, but parents/caregivers do it out of frustration. That's like rule number one, though! You would've thought the caregiver at least knew not to shake an infant even if that person was just an assistant, lunch lady, whatever their role....ESPECIALLY if they're working in a childcare setting! And you know what's scarier? If I'm not mistaken this was a government-funded facility for military parents to drop off their kids...not some crazy lady's home daycare in the ghetto somewhere. i dunno...it's so scary. =/
Has our society advanced so far as to not understand the frailty of human life? Medical Science has advanced so far that people can be saved for so many things that would have killed them 50 years ago, that sometimes I wonder if we truly understand the precious nature of life, and perhaps that is why people do such unforgivable things.
If medical science was on par today with med science in 1969, then the war in Iraq would have claimed the lives of an additional 36,000 men and women. Instead, they lived disabled among us. Do you think the American people would have entrusted George W to take care of our troops, our sons and daughters, if we saw numbers like that enough to elect him to a second term?
