YES!!!!!!!!!

Please send an injury report right away, and document in your medical log.

My sister was once sited for "failure to report the death or injury of a child" because after bumping his head, mom took him to the doc. as a precaution. Doc said "he's fine", Sis didn't report it, and yeah...

That was in the days when there was no DCF website, so parents didn't see the citation or her side of it, but if anyone called licensing to check for non-compliances, they would have been told the citation without explanation.

http://dcf.wisconsin.gov/forms/pdf/dcf_f_cfs0055.pdf

" The licensee / certified provider shall report any death of a child in care, or any incident or accident that occurs while the child
is in care that results in an injury that requires professional medical treatment. Licensee shall notify the department within 48 hours of
becoming aware of the medical treatment. Certified provider shall notify the certifying agency as soon as possible but no later than the
agency’s next working day. Submit a completed form to the regional licensing / certification office."

They consider SEEKING medical treatment enough, even if nothing was done.

Well, Heidi! It all got taken care of this morning. After reading your post, I was just about to call my licenser and as I was picking up the phone, here she is standing on my front porch knocking on the door. LOL And so I told her what happened. That child is here today and so she could see that she was running all around and acting completely normal today. She told me to make out a written report and fax it to her office this afternoon just to be on the safe side in case something comes of this later on. And then I will not be in trouble for not notifying her.
