How incredibly tragic. But this is one of the consequences of two income families which is now the status quo for most Americans unfortunately. I think it is time to re-think daycare centers in general. A friend of mine nearly lost her baby when she noticed after picking the child up from a highly recommended day care facility , that her daughter was lethargic and becoming non responsive. It turned out the baby had ingested an oxycotin pill. Now it was never clear if the child was deliberately given a pill to quiet her during the day or more likely it fell out of the bag of a staff member and she ate it off the floor, but the result was the same. She nearly died.
I hope they closed the place down.
