CARY, N.C. (WNCN) — A Wake County mom is trying to keep other parents from experiencing what she did when her child suffered severe burns on playground equipment.
“It was a struggle,” said Danielle Zillioux.
Zillioux said her daughter was only 14-months-old when she got 2nd-degree burns on her hands.
“Every time we had to change [the bandages], she would cry, especially when the blisters broke. It was just painful,” she said.
It happened two years ago at Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academy of West Cary. Zillioux worked there at the time.
“The teacher that was with my daughter at the time, she felt horrible. She was very emotionally upset.”
She said she never pursued legal action and kept working there because she didn’t feel it was malicious.
Instead, she and her husband met with the day care heads to get safety measures in place.
She said part of what they agreed on after the incident was adding a shade structure to the playground.
She’s shared her daughter’s burn photos each summer on social media to spread awareness.
“It doesn’t have to be super hot days. It doesn’t have to be direct sunlight,” she said.

Today they would make that a haz mat situation.
Ahh, for the good old days. We used to follow the trucks that would drive down the street and spray the trees with DDT to kill the mosquitoes, back in the 60's. I think most of us turned out ok?
We have babies who were raised by babies raising babies now. Parenting is a lost skill - teachers see it every day.
Idiocracy. Welcome to Costco. I love you.
Agree! In the late ‘40s-mid ‘50s, we boys wore old cut-off jeans, with no shirts or shoes in the Summers. Played baseball, rode our bikes for several miles on tar-topped roads to a lake where we would fish and swim (no adult supervision) and got into all kinds of mischief. ...The soles of my feet were like tanned leather.
