Tough talk to director at Day care

Postby Alice » Wed Jul 21, 2010 11:43 pm

I did one of the hardest things today. I saw a little girl 2.5 years being plonked on the toilet so hard that she cried. Fuck it broke my heart. They had just taken her pacifier of her which could be some of the reason she was crying but not all. To me as a mother if someone did that to my kid I would be furious. The director asured me I would not me named when she spoke to the person. But you know she will most prob still work it out... Man I feel sick. But I know im my heart I have done the right thing.

i want to say a big thansk to M+2 for being there and talking me through it. I wouldnt have had the guts to stand up and speak if it wasnt for you. Thanks again.

As a mother, I thank you. I would certainly want someone to speak up if they saw anything like that happen to my child. So sorry you had to witness that, though :(

Yeah, another parent thanking you. As a parent the last thing you want is a code of secrecy at your child's care centre. You did the right thing and I'm sure it took alot of courage. I hope there is no messy fallback with this "carer".

Thanks Everyone. it was so tough i was nearly in tears with the director and very very nervours. I knew I had to speak up for this little girl cause I know so many people would just ignore it and not say anything.

My biggest fear is that she takes it out on my kids. But hay if that does happen the shit really will hit the fan (so to speak).

Thankyou, for facing your own fears and speaking up to the director, that could have been my 2.5yo :grouphug

Well if that happens, then you know it's not a good place for them to be anyway. Hopefully, it doesn't come to that!

I spoke to the director on the phone today and she assures me that this carer doesnt know she didnt mention that it happened yesterday at all. or who was around or who complained. So im happy. And yes your right NY if they do take it out of my kids they will all be pulled quicker then you can say 123 but I dont think it will happen now.
