OMG, I got the chills after seeing those pictures. WTH, why didn't they call you as soon as this happened, were not talking one bruise here. Definitely push this as far as you can. Bless his heart.

It's been almost one year and I just received notice that the state is finally revoking this day care provider's license. Now she won't be able to have this happen to someone else's child. I can't believe they let her continue to operate for so long.

[Aprilmar10]

This is my fist time seeing this thread and my God I would be PISSED. Im so sorry this happened to your little guy and Im happy to see they revoked their license.

[Hobbsie]

OMFG! I was a daycare provider for awhile and that is outrageous!!!! I have never seen anything like those pics of your child! I hope he didn't scar And I am glad she is shut down! No one in Mass would of stayed open if those pics surfaced. I hope you found a good daycare, not everyone is like that.

I was way beyond angry!! He's still got some marks that we think won't be going away any time soon. They mostly only show up when his face is exposed to the cold. Still, it's good to see some kind of justice done.

[rachelhale]

Goodness, I am glad she got shut down. I hope you pursued the civil suit that way at least another insurance carrier for any type of business she may try to open will not touch her with a 10 ft pole!

[lilac48604]

The lawyer for the civil suit wanted to wait until the licensing bureau made their decision. I'll phone him on Monday to give him the information so he can move forward with the civil case.

[Stacey012345]

Terrible, just terrible!! I just saw this tonight for the first time, so glad to see they shut the provider down, and I am so sorry for what happened to your little guy.

[kstover0426]

I cannot believe this, I am so sorry this happened to your son and you. My heart hurts for you I could not imagine someone (kid or adult) hurting my son that way.
I am soooo glad this daycare is being closed, this is horrible

[pattysullivan3]

God bless you! Your poor baby!! I am glad to hear that her daycare is closed & that you are moving forward with the suit. I hope you can get something out of her this is a horrible thing to go through.

[mandarn]

I just saw this thread tonight. The pictures made me sick to my stomach and I cried Your poor baby. I have a 17 month old, and it would have been hard to not beat the crap out of that lady had it have been my child. I am so sorry he went through that and you too. I am thrilled to hear that they have revoked her license.

[kimmyann123]

How incredibly sad! Just came across your story for the first time tonight. So glad they shut her daycare down, but sad it took them almost a year! At least this will (hopefully) never happen to another child!

P.S. Your son is precious!

[FOOTBALLMOM2]

I can't imagaine what you and your precious little one are going through but my prayers are with you both. He is a sweet little one. Best of luck to the both of you.

[Beautemous02]

I am glad they shut the home daycare down. I am glad your little one is doing better and I hope everything goes well with the civil case.

But come on your DS had to be screaming with all these bite marks why did no staff stop this. At the day care you do have kids that do get a bite in here and there its to be expected at this age but nothing like this. I sure hope social services really looks into this. my sisters center has camera the only place u can hide is the BR. Every thing is monitored and recorded and it really helps. Also the parents get password and they can go online and watch there kid while they are signed in.

I really like the idea of the camera and parents being able to watch. I've never known a childcare place to do that.


And lilac, i'm so happy to see that the daycare has been shut down and so sorry you and your son had to go through all of that.

[timmsa]

This is the first time i have seen this thread. Wow I am so sorry you had to go through this with your precious happy little guy.
I would have been livid and I would have called the police right there. I saw those pictures and I was horrified. I can't believe that she was able to continue watching kids for almost a year.
I would have gone to the tv station and exposed her. Because it would leave me wondering how many other children has this happened to and not reported.
I know kids are going to bite at this age but wow that was way to far.

Curious How is the civil suit going?

[Debnmarv261]

I have been in the daycare business for over 20 years and these do look like bite marks,and yes kids will go through that but,this is just a little to excesive.First off I would have called you when the bruise was that dark to ask if you wanted to see it. I would have called the other kids parents and asked that they be removed permantly.It appears that the child was not in the room with her.It makes you wonder if he was in a playpen with another and she was not watching him to get this many bites at one time. I never let more than one child in a playpen at a time.I think the daycare is not telling the truth about a toy being between the baby and the other boys.You did all the right things. The next time I would ask for previous children that have been in her care also.So sorry this happened to your baby and you.

[lostfan30]

I am seeing this for the first time too. OMG! I am horrified. I am so glad you are finally seeing justice. I am so glad your son is okay with nothing permanent. That is awful they would have tried to cover that up.

[famofthree]

I too am seeing this for the first time and I am in tears!!!! AS a former childcare provider I know that a bite can happen but she had to have been out of the room FOREVER for that to occur. That is sickening to look at, I cant even imagine not getting a call about it and showing up to find my child in such a terrible state. I would have kicked the **** outta her! Seriously I am guessing the only thing that stopped you was that your attention was on getting that little guy to the hospital. Keep us posted on what happens in the civil suit, and I am sick that it took a year to close this daycare...shame on them!

Hugs for you and your little man....

[mellowgirl09]

Wow I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're following up and filing a report. That it is severe.

I'm going through the same thing right now but to a much lesser degree. It's a case of the providers not watching the children well enough. I have made a lot of noise about it and they seem to be worried and watching my girl's better. I can't afford to move them immediately but they only have 2 more weeks here.

Trusting your children to someone else basically sucks.

[cjcoupons]

I had no idea what bite marks actually looked like and was horrified when I saw your little guy. He was just a few months older than my fella. I am so sorry that he had to go thru that. I am glad they shut her down. What a scary thing to have to deal with. My heart goes out to you.

[timmsa]

The thing that gets me is why did it take a year for her to get shut down. I mean I am really wondering how many other children had to get hurt before they decided to shut her down.

[sneakycatxo]

This is also my first time seeing this thread.. omg. A year? I'm just glad she DID get shut down. and that was not a "bite" that was repeated biting and an attack.. your poor baby and I couldn't even imagine how much control you must have had not to beat this ladys butt. I would have had the VERY strong desire to bite HER. I hope she gets nailed with your civil case.
