What state are you in?

I am in California. I have a two story home and because I am large capacity, am not allowed to use the upstairs for care. I am also not allowed to leave children unattended while I take a break upstairs while they nap. I am also not allowed to leave a child strapped in to ANYTHING except for during meal times or if they are AWAKE in a swing.

I would not fight this violation. You left a one year old unattended in a rocking chair, strapped in while sleeping. Although it also sounds to me like she wasn't actually sleeping as you said she bent over to pick up her pacifier, which is how she sustained the injury. She should have been properly supervised and she should not have ben strapped in to a rocking chair to sleep.

What have the parents said about it?
