It is a horrible situation and having gone through a SIDS death at a facility I can assure you that the family and center are devastated-- not running to DCUM to check in in things. They are most likely consumed by the truly horrific police investigation which they will all be subjected to. That is what is horrific. Not this.

It really doesn't matter if you "find it a problem." It's against the rules. Not sure why this is so hard to understand?

And thanks, Captain Obvious, I think everyone understands that parents would think the death of their child is more devastating than a thread on DCUM. That doesn't make everyone's morbid curiosity any less gross.

Where's the meeting?
Thanks.

Someone's child has died. And your child could too- especially since you vaccinate them to high heavens and then leave them in their cribs alone to scream for hours. So there's no need to make yourself feel better like you are a "good and diligent parent" by being nosy about someone elses affairs. The name of the center will come out eventually, but it's still irrelevant. Have some fucking respect and compassion for others.

You need medication.

Vacinated?

Guys, there's one nutty poster telling people to stop asking questions - the vaccination/crying post confirmed it. Let's stop engaging her.

Of course parents will be concerned, whether or not they are affiliated with this particular center. My heart goes out to all involved.

+1 Truly heartbreaking.

I'm the parent who originally explained the situation at our center. I did not name the center because 1) I have no reason whatsoever to believe the Center was responsible for the death, so I have no desire to defile the reputation of the Director and teachers who love and care for my child; and 2) our children need their school to return to normal - I have no desire to see TV cameras outside when I go to puck up my child.

If this turns out to be a quality of care issue, rest assured that parents from our center will let DCUM know. Until then, please let our community grieve in peace.

We are a part of the community as well, believe it or not.

I am a SIDS parent and have met many others. No meaningful info will be available for minimum of a month. And chances are very very high that this infant death was random lousy luck, and all caregivers were following all best practices. That's the case in the majority of SIDS deaths these days. It was in my house.

PP, I'm sure I'm not the only one who sobbed on reading your post. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know another mom who lost her daughter to SIDS, and I never forget either one.

Like other PPs I wanted to know the name of the center. Not because I thought it would protect me or my daycare kid, but because I'm always a bit worried, deep down. Parenthood is ultimately terrifying at times. I don't feel safer now that I know the specific center, and I always remember that there but for the grace of God.

This is so very, very sad. I am so sorry for this family's loss. And 18:34, I am so very sorry for your loss as well.

I am devastated for this family. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

PP, I am also sorry to hear about your loss. My heart goes out to the family, and the people who work at the center. I hope that the investigation goes quickly and gives other parents at the center and in the area some comfort.

"Whats the name of the center, what's the name of the center" Is that all you selfish jerks care about?? How about "I am so sorry for the family." No, that's too much because all you care about is your dumb asses and making sure you don't making yourselves feel better. You need to make sure it could never happen to you. Well guess what- it could. So get off your iphones, get off the internet, stop counting your money and pay attention to your kids.

My condolences for the family. I truly hope none of them come across this thread.

Why are you taking this so personally, PP?

I don't think is cold and heartless, I think it's good that people are concerned. Yes of course it's sad that a child died, but parents want to know why and what happened and to see if it could have been prevented. How is that cold and heartless?

I think that you must be a friend of or related to the woman whose child died. And I do feel awful for her, but I understand why people are asking for information.

I'm curious as to why the parents at the said daycare are so confident that the death was NOT the fault of the staff and are so quick to defend/support the daycare. I'm not saying it was, but how would you know, only one day after the incident, that staff was not negligent.

I'm not sure I would be able to send my baby back the day after a baby died in care.

How would a baby die in a crib at daycare? Aren't they constantly watched?

makes me so nervous,

And my heart goes out to that family.

Assuming it is SIDS, it likely happens the same way that it happens at home. At our daycare the provider did not literally sit by the cribs and watch the sleeping infants for 2hrs at a stretch.
