I got the call at 4pm, I picked her up at 4:30 - she was curled up in her playpen, very quiet with no diaper on and her soiled diaper open next to her. I was given a box of wipes to clean her up. The poop was crusted on her arms, legs, and there was a chunk on her face. I don't know how long she was sitting there to have it crusted on. I felt very bad for her to be sitting in it. It has disturbed me all weekend. Everyone I've talked to has said I should report it. I REALLY like my DC and do not want to find another. Since this is the first time this has happened and she has no other complaints, should I just sit down with her and tell her my concerns instead of reporting her?
Oh Hell No! You "really like" your DC? This is 100%, absolutely DISGUSTING, UNNACEPTABLE AND PUTTING YOUR CHILD AT RISK!!!! Not only were her needs unmet, she was left to sit in her own waste(whihc can lead to all kinds of bacterial infections), with obviously no sort of attention being given to her for this to happen. This type of thing can lead to lasting issues(pgysically AND emotionally).....and if they are letting you actually witness this type of thing, I can only imagine what goes on when you don't see....
Pull your child NOW, call licensing NOW and do what is right for your child....PROTECT HER!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot beleive you actually are considering, for even one second, allowing her to continue attending when this has actually been witnessed by you....
