[quote=Anonymous]I found out about the other three bitten children because another parent (Dad) told me.  We just got to the playground when this happened.  My son is four years old and the FOM playground is not huge and there is no need for me to helicopter over him while he is playing.  Most of the parents sit on the benches around the playground and observe their chilldren.  Only parents of small toddlers (2 and under) will stay by their child's immediate side.

I did not get a chance to talk to the mother because I had to address my child's injury.  I do not think that biting on a public playground is okay.  Biting, hitting or pushing are NEVER okay.  I do not know if the child had any special needs and I do not really think that it should matter.  If the child acts this crazy, then it is the mother's job to closely supervise him so that he does not injure other children on the playground who have a RIGHT to play there without being bitten.   If my child's skin would have been broken by the bite, then I would have to take him to the ER to get a tetanus shot.  A human bite can cause serious infection and I would not know if the other child carried any infections diseases.

If the mother would have came over to me and apologized, then I would have accepted the apology.  Things happen and sometimes children do awful things, but it is not okay to just walk away.  She did not teach her child anything.  But then, she was probably embarrassed and just wanted to get out of there.  [/quote]
