Infant died in a DC daycare center yesterday?

Anonymous
There is a posting on MOTH, but no details provided. Has anyone heard about this tragedy and can share some information?

Just terrifying.

This is beyond tacky. If you want to know what happened, why not email the person who posted, instead of broadcasting someone's tragedy anonymously on a public message board? I really don't see how this is your business.

It's not tacky. If someone has a baby in daycare, it scares the shit out of them to hear stories like this.

How is it tacky? Many here would like to know details.

Why is it any of your business to know the details?? If your child is at the center, presumably you know. Otherwise, this is just gossip.

The person who posted this on MOTH didn't do so so that it could be broadcast to a bunch of rubberneckers on DCUM.

Yeah, exactly how is this tacky? I think any parent who has a child in day care - or even doesn't - would want to know the situation.

Do you work there, or something? Calm down. People want to know the circumstances.

Tacky my ass. We are concerned parents. We want details on which daycare and how it happened so we can make sure it doesn't happen to our child.

What is MOTH?

Correlation doesn't equal causation. Isn't that what you people say whenever someone tries to give you a dose of common sense?

Look, I'm on the MOTH listserve and the woman who wrote was tangential, so it's not like she was confiding and her confidence is somehow being broken. She also has no details (also in the post).

Frankly, if it had happened at any of our daycares, we would know about it. Something tells me this will work its way out. It's completely tragic, but I don't think the OP did anything wrong. Yeesh.

The point is that the OP could simply email the parent who posted if she is so keen to know the details. To post here is simply cowardly.

My child is at the affected center. An infant was found unresponsive in its crib - a real tragedy for all involved. It was an isolated and horrific tragedy. Licensing had no concerns with the quality of care and the center remains open for business today. I had no concerns whatsoever about sending my child back to school today.

[bold]Please, out of respect for the family involved, let's shut down this conversation.[/bold] There are no concerns about quality of care involved, so this really isn't a topic that needs to be discussed on DCUM.

Thank you, 13:53, for posting some information. That's all anyone was asking for, for crying out loud. And it is a real tragedy.

That makes me so sad to hear, I really hope it was not due to negligence at the facility. How awful.
