I think it had alot to do with the dcp's general attitude towards alot of thing. I don't think this was the type of dcp that had alot of patience and in my head from what was explained about him, I can picture him standing there with his hands on his hips while the child was cleaning it up. I think maybe that was the concern.
There have been so many children killed because of accidents. I'm not saying in daycare settings, but by parents.
