I'd report you, too, considering how abusive some cultures are to children.

Um...

So you inflicted "deep purple bruises" on your child and you were reported to CPS? That sounds about right to me.

That’s not what Mongolian spots are….

A cultural thing that good for health seems to imply it's something that was done to the child, not Mongolian spots that appear on an infant. Is cupping a cultural thing? This is very odd.

It seems like childcare did a good job in reporting.

Some Asian cultures rub the skin until it's injured. I think it is supposed to stimulate the immune system.

Is that what happened, OP?

If it’s a mainstream practice In your culture (I’m imagining some type of cupping or something?) and was done in a culturally sanctioned and non abusive or traumatizing way then you are fine.

I'm guessing cupping therapy?

CPS will know what they are and educate the daycare.

Is it cupping? I mean, they would definitely need to report that.

Are you OP? I don't think they were mongolian spots

There is no cultural thing that leaves a deep purple bruise on your child. Good for them for reporting. CPS will contact you and go from there.

What culture are you from where bruising your child is okay???????

This is the first time ever I got reported to child protection service in Montgomery county from a daycare. I have a few children. I don't want to reveal too much details in case I am not supposed to ask/share on this forum or affect possible investigation. What happens is daycare did their due responsibilities and called CPS because they saw deep purple bruises on my child's body part. And, I left a note in his backpack upon dropoff that it was a cultural thing that's for good health (look terrible but actually painless), and my child is fine. I swear it is not physical abuse and I love my child to death. The reason I knew because daycare notified me about that. I called DH to tell him about that, and he is not worried at all. I am really worried about it. What will I expect? Are they planning to do home visit, call pediatrician or asking me to get my child checked out, or nothing will happen? Anyone has gone through that before?
