People make mistakes.  This was a bad one.  However, I think that maybe people are taking this a little to far.  Calm down, let the day-care work through its process to ensure this doesn't ever happen again.  If it does happen again, then you can call for their heads.  [/quote]

I am an FCC parent and confidently dropped my son off at school today.  He has been there (and my daughter before him) since he was 3-months old, and my husband and I did not hesitate when bringing him to preschool today.

What happened is horrible, and FCC does need to work through this and make things right, not only for the child's family but for the rest of the school population.  Everyone who said this should never have happened is right.  Just like planes shouldn't crash, and patients shouldn't die on operating tables, and airbags shouldn't fail.  It happened and it was a horrible mistake.  I can't imagine the anger of the parents; it hurts my heart just thinking about it.

Closing the school down is an asinine suggestion.  What will that do?  If this was the mistake of one person, how does shutting down the school resolve that?  Sure, that person is out of a job, but so is everyone else, and numerous families are SOL.  Not to mention in the middle of all this, the defining scars left on the child.

The other thing I want to respond to is the "chaos" factor.  I've been to Livingston to pick up my kids for doctors appointments and such over the past few years and didn't find it chaotic.  I always saw children running around, talking, shouting, playing -- I'm not absolutely certain, but I think that is supposed to be happening at a playground.  If you go to a playground and expect things to be calm, relaxed, and organized, that's not going to happen, especially with 30 or more kids playing at the same time.

Let FCC and whatever authorities are involved deal with this before calling for an execution.  There are several other preschools and daycare facilities in the area who have experienced the same thing in recent years that were not shut down.  I hope FCC will reach out to them to put in immediate and long-term corrective measures.

PS:  To those who don't know whether FCC is a daycare or a preschool:  the Western Ave. building is a preschool.  I know this because my daughter left there knowing how to read.  Not sure "daycare" focuses on reading, math, geography, and science, but FCC does.
