Incidents At Daycare - Recommendations Near Bothell, WA

I'm sorry, but that sounds like a crock. And I honestly can't tell who its coming from.

You saw a baby being pulled out of closet... Your baby...and didn't recognize her?

When you first spoke to the pprovider, she said that it "not really" a closet but a dark room, you looked at it and decided it was a closet, then she switches her story and says its a basement?? And that's supposed to be better?

Who thinks that's okay? English or no English, who would think that you pay them to stick your kid a closet in their damn car seat? You could've left the child alone at home for all that.

I honestly don't know about this story. If this indeed happened this way, you need to report her at the BARE MINIMUM so that she can get some education on appropriate sleep practices, supervision and dealing with infants. She's not a safe person to be taking care of people's infants and she sounds like a liar.

I'm sorry about the spelling errors but I'm angry.

I disagree with you that babies age 9 months should always be rocked to sleep. Some times perhaps but it isn't always possible and laying them down in a crib or PNP is just fine also. I can't believe though you are still talking to her. STOP and report her. It may come down to he said she said, but that isn't for you to decide. That is why we have child protective services they get to decide, not you or me or her. Please let them do their job.

Must say I wonder if you sleep well at night?

When you enroll your child in her next child care setting, do you hope any parents who left with serious safety concerns will have reported them? Will you wonder now if you have a false sense of security picking your next place, as other parents may have left with great concern, but decided to remain quiet?

And this is why it doesn't add up to me and why I suspected a possible troll. What parent would witness their baby being slept in a car seat in a dark CLOSET and NOT report? Can you imagine how scared that baby would've been? Strapped in and in the pitch dark?

Yes, op, I suspect you are a troll for exactly these reasons. Trolls pop in with a crazy story to get everyone riled up. If this is a true story, then I seriously question your integrity for allowing other helpless children to remain in that situation.

Exactly my thought.

I still think you have a responsibility to at least call licensing, but at least you pulled your child and are moving on.

I just wanted to comment on the bolded above ^^. It's important to specifically ask your provider how they put children to sleep. For example, I do NOT enroll children who are held or rocked to sleep. It absolutely does not fit into my program. My children are expected to (with sleep training) be able to lay down in a dark room (supervised, of course) and fall asleep on their own.

I agree. I don't take infants, but I would never rock one to sleep.

I hope this is a troll, I just can't imagine what kind of parent would NOT report this.

The state WILL come out, they WILL investigate.
