Baby left alone locked inside Johnston day care

A 9-month-old baby is left alone in a Johnston day care for nearly an hour and the day care claims it's all just a misunderstanding.

That's a tough situation. Luckily the boy is okay!

I cant believe this still happens. What makes this worst is that the owner is basicly pointing the finger to the mother. The child wasnt signed in, so let me get this right. Anyone can walk in a put a baby in a bed and walk out and not one staff memeber ask questions, because that would imply that anyone could also walk in and take any child they wish as well. Lets just be real here, children are taking every day and are raped and murdered and all the day care owner can say is she doesnt want to point fingers. No she doesnt want to be taken to court by the mother, I dont know if she really understands the state may not press charges but the mother can, and would win if she sues for damages. I am a mother and I would have to be honest if this had happened to my child I would be the one going to jail and the owner would be in the hospital. But she would never be afraid to point a finger of blame because I would. I have to ask if the child was signed in and spent the entire day there who changed the diapers who feed the baby? Because if the child wasnt signed in and spent the entire day there it had to cry for something so if no one knew it was there no one took care of it. Maybe the police should be asking those questions. It is stupid people like this owner that put children in danger. They are also the reasons we now put parents and daycar providers in jail for not being more responsible.

These were all the same questions going through my mind.It makes you wonder if the baby had laid there the whole day?

let's say someone wasn't doin' their job, the MOTHER!!!!!!! the owner of the day care!!
geesh!

[you dum b]

the mother was doing her job working to take care of her baby,my baby goes to the daycare right down the street,and i know all the staff there have to do a head count like every 5 minutes and list all there children even if they are not signed in,yea mistakes happen like a kid falling or getting sick from a daycare but getting left behind ,are the daycare owners in this for the money only and screw the child.she claims she left early cause it was a holiday but there was only 3 kids there all day anyway how hard is it to keep track of 3 kids leaving ,i have 5 kids of my own and i dont leave any behind ...she has to feel like the biggest idiot right now

[The Ladies Man]

Not for nothing, but that was probably the best sleep that baby had all day!!!!

No harm, no foul.......mistakes happen, let's move on.

Eveyone makes mistakes, the employee should be fired but not shut down the place
