Do not make this about the daycare center. This is a horrible tragedy. I feel terrible for the parents, particularly the father who will have to live with this guilt for the rest of his life. But ultimately the fault lies with the father.
Don't tell me what I can and cannot say!!! Who do you think you are???
Of COURSE it's the father's fault..DUH!!! But if I ran a daycare, I would call and check why an infant wasn't in on a given day. It's only common sense.
If the baby was out because of a contagious illness, I would want to alert other parents.
You have a lot of nerve telling people what they can't say!!!
particularly the father who will have to live with this guilt for the rest of his life.
Frankly, I don't think he sounds like that kind of 'father'. My guess is that he'll be at ballgame or bowling alley within a week and not look back. Anyone who is this uninterested in his child is a dud. When our kids were little, and I mean really little, we TALKED to them when they were in the car, and sang to them. My guess is he had the radio on, or was talking on his cell phone and simply didn't even think about the baby.
