She what now? Your story is weird OP. Are you sure you aren't hiding something?

What’s weird about it?

Not PP -- however I wouldn't think a computer charger would cause serious injury

OP here it’s not a serious injury.

I wouldn't think sitting on a computer charger would cause ANY injury. Are you talking about the prongs? The flat plastic thing? It's just a weird story.

Then I guess you are thinking impaired.

Throwing baseless accusations and suspicion around can be very harmful.

So is lying. Your story makes NO SENSE!

Just sitting on it maybe doesn't but falling/bouncing onto it would. My kids are always in motion and have sat down hard on weird things.

On the flip side I have stepped on so many of their toys and if the bottoms of feet bruised easily, mine would be a mess!

I am adult and I often find bruises on my body where I have no idea where they came from or when, and Healthline says you can bruise your butt sitting down too hard on something. I vote for going to swimming lessons and if anyone says anything she plopped down on something hard, nbd.

NP here who finds your thinking and story weird too.

Do you have anxiety? Kids get hurt and get bruises. My toddler regularly smashed up her face by falling on it. Normal people don’t worry about unfounded child abuse suspicions from everyday bruises.

If you didn’t do anything wrong then you have nothing to hide.

Story sounds weird to me also:

My four year old sat on a computer charger that was sitting on the couch and it hurt her really badly. There were tears, and now she has a bit of a bruise on her outer hip/kind of into the buttocks area. She has swimming lessons tonight—am I paranoid in thinking that people are going to think this was a parent-inflicted injury?

She said the kid sat on the non moving charger - not bounced onto it. She said it hurt really badly. How big is the bruising for it to show from a sitting (buttocks) area to your outer hip where you’re suit won’t cover?

The problem is a parent so stupid as to put a charger where anyone could sit. Take her to a doctor and tell the truth about how this happened.

+1 NP very weird story and thread.

Notice the recent flurry of posts that passive-aggressively imply abuse? It’s clear that there is a self righteous and active contingent of fellow parents who seem to thoroughly enjoy manufacturing juicy gossip about other families. Why wouldn’t a thoughtful and aware parent be a little paranoid?

+1 OP is doing that thing where there's too much detail but also the details don't line up. How would this cause any bruises, let alone multiple? How would sitting on a static object bruise the outer hip? That's not how sitting works.

OP you're worried about what people are going to think because you don't have a good cover story.

Maybe OP was testing this particular cover story to see if we bought it. We don’t.

Yep. Notice how they are starting to flock around like body-snatchers/ Any minute someone is going to decide this needs to be reported.

I am not suspecting abuse. I did post above how the story doesn’t make sense. She said her kid sat on a cord, got hurt really badly, and has bruising from her buttocks to her hip where her suit won’t cover it. It’s he’s too imagine that happening that way. Either it’s an exaggeration of the injury or under reporting of what happened with the cord. (It moved, kid was rough housing, etc.). The way the story was written it makes no sense, easy bruising person or not.

Not OP. My pc charger has a 4x2x1 black box in the middle of the cord. It absolutely would hurt if I flopped on the couch and the corner& short side dug into my hip/butt. Has no one here ever sat on a toy accidentally? That hurts! The accusatory replies here are weird. My kids have hurt themselves in the most random ways.
