Daycare Worker Burns Boy After Using Cleaning Chemical To Clean His Face

I would go fucking ballistic

I think she did it cause she was annoyed and trying to teach him a lesson but thats my opinion, i work with those dry erasers and there arent chemicals that would do this to a kid she put something on ther and rubbed very hard it looks

Ugh! My sister-in-law did that to her boys one time. They drank some juice that gave them a moustache,  and being the neat freak she was, pulled out some Pine Sol, soaked the tip of a cloth, and scrubbed their faces with it. That’s absolutely insane!

OMG.  I would be pissed, but in her defense, you don’t need a cleaning agent to get burned from a magic eraser.  The eraser itself does a shit boat load of damage.  I only know this because I was helping my guy remove a windshield and I got this tar like stuff all over my arms.  I couldn’t get it off with soap and water so I thought, well this magic eraser works great on everything else, sooooooo. …..  Well it did work great, but as the day went on my arm started to blister and swelled up.  It hurt like a sonofabitch!  I didn’t have any chemical on it.  It was dumb dumb dumb, but I did learn a lesson.

 What an idiot!  I guess, to some people, a chemical burn is more appealing than a temporary Chuck E. Cheese tattoo?  I am reminded of an old adage:  “Let it stink, let it be.”  It seems this was done as the result of extreme stupidity and not pure hatefulness.  The end result is the same, though.  A little child has been hurt and may be permanently scarred.  Nice job, unnamed stupid twit.

“What? Children’s face not like chalkboard?”

So sorry. Will use steel wool next time.

They actually give me a rash, but I have very sensitive skin. 

You have braved the den of children? You are a braver adventurer than I good sir.

 They didn’t have any baby lotion at that daycare? Lotion removes those damn temp tattoos without leaving those lovely chemical burns behind. That teacher is a complete idiot!

Right? Or a tattoo on his face, full stop? Wtf are arms for, anyway?

Possible scarring is possible in any type of skin trauma including zits. Someone smells money.

The teacher used poor judgement when trying to do something good. I wonder whether she was let go because she did something “stupid” (never happens at my office) or because the mother of the victim is an asshole.

I think the mother needs to be sued for her choice of a child’s  name. Silas Gholston? Sounds like a 72 year old man who spits on the neighborhood children.

It wasn’t my idea. My friend thought it would be funny to throw me a “party” there. It consisted of the seven of us sitting around grimacing over how terrible the pizza tasted and patiently waiting for the one friend to finish spending the shitload of tokens they bought (which was hard, as they had no proper arcade games there, just stupid kids’ games.) I was really thankful when we finally decided to leave. (We ended up renting Scott Pilgrim, Shaun of the Dead, and Zombieland and watching them all, so the night wasn’t a complete wash…)

I would be absolutely f*cking outraged!– Granted, I also would probably not be letting my child stick temporary tattoos on his face to begin with, but even if I did, you better believe the SECOND I found out some b*tch decided they didn’t want it on my child’s face and tried to scrub it off with something that did this– b*tch would be catching a beat down… especially since this poor kid is only 5 years old and it’s f*cking Day Care for Christ’s sake.. was the child looking presentable REALLY that frikkin important?? If it’s that big of an issue to you, how about uploading the class picture onto the computer and just blurring it or photo shopping it out?? Which would take a matter of, oh I dunno, 2 seconds?? I know if I was that concerned about it that’s what I would be doing, but hell, rubbing any kind of chemical cleaner on a child who isn’t yours that you’re supposed to be taking care of sounds like a f*cking great idea! Who am I kidding?? 5 year olds with Chuck E. Cheese characters (most likely) not even the size of the f*cking palm of your hand are extremely tacky, ESPECIALLY for something as prestigious as a DAY CARE class portrait. F*cking MORON!!<3

Read the text: “…with a dry eraser filled with a cleaning chemical.” Most likely the cleaning solution for dry erasers. Duh.

Duh to yourself doofus from what i read it says it was filled with a cleaning chemical, have u ever even seen one they are not “filled” with cleaning chemicals that was something she soaked it in or added, i work for a college i hand them out to our professors all the time, the material itself is irritating and not smooth to say the least

Plain soap and water with a light washcloth scrub gets those chuck e cheese tattoos off fine for me, but you’re right on the alcohol. It’s the simple solution for all permanent marker removal.  Basic rubbing alcohol even gets sharpie off the kids’ clothes.

Really John?  So you’re basically siding with the daycare because you think these parent are just after money, the teacher just made a “mistake” and you don’t like the kid’s name?  Wow.

Nope. Why wasn’t this taken care of quietly? Why was the press brought in?

Read MY text: “…the cleaning solution for dry erasers.” I’m talking about the cleaning solution to clean the dry erasers after they’ve been used enough times that the dry ink has accumulated on it and it’s dark with dry ink and it makes streaks and you have to clean that shit off the dry eraser so you buy some cleaning solution for dry erasers to clean that shit off and add it to the dry eraser to clean it.

I take it you don’t have any kids. Because this is blatant child abuse. Whether the media was called or whatever else doesn’t excuse the fact this child was harmed in their care.

Thank you so much for sharing that!  I’ll have nightmares for a week now lol!

I don’t know what’s creepier. The robots or the guys who made them. **Shuddering**

Then you’ll love this…

I have three children and I can’t stand to be in a Chuck E Cheese. I leave there a nervous wreck, on edge, needing a Blue Moon and a Xanax.

Oy the torture!  Good grief that was just mean!

I once cleaned my walls with diluted pine sol, without gloves, and later the skin on the palm of my hand peeled off. Gotta watch that shit.

It has absolutely nothing to do with this lady’s lack of intelligence– When you are paying a day care service (especially one as massive as this, with locations “all across the country” as this one advertises)  to look after and take care of your child when you are unable to do so, there should always be some sort of protocol on ANYTHING you are giving to that child or applying to the child’s skin that all employees should be well aware of when hired, if not for the children’s sake than to cover your own asses when any sort of liability issues come up. 

Just like when they start school and the nurse sends you home that little form you fill out in the beginning of the year that lets you check things like “In case of an emergency, it is ok to give my child Tylenol if they have a fever.. It is ok to use Neosporin on my child’s cuts and scrapes, etc.”– at the end of the day, whether you think something is appropriate to be used or not, in any given situation, you are still caring for someone else’s child and that child’s parent should be the ONLY one allowed to make any of those decisions. Not to mention– what sort of child care facility would allow any employee to wash or sanitize ANYTHING on a CHILD’S skin WITHOUT it being something you know in advance has been tested and is 100% safe to be using?? As an employee of a much larger company who’s basis is providing child care and working with children, any employee hired who’s stupid enough to use anything other than something regulated for that purpose– is not only at the fault of the employee but the company as a whole for not making sure their employees adhere to the guidelines you will find in any regulated child care environment, especially when it’s as massive as this one. 

Any parent would be pissed and have to wonder what the hell else is going on there to have their child come home with this on their face, and if they aren’t, well– chances are they really didn’t give a f*ck about the child, or his well being to begin with. And you’re damn right most parents with any common sense would attempt to take this to the local media even if they weren’t seeking any compensation– as a child care provider as a whole KinderCare should already have certain regulations and stipulations about what the employees are allowed to give or use on the children to protect them from accidental harm, allergic reactions, personal parent’s wishes etc., and if there were already some in place (which is a VERY good possibility for something THIS SIZE) the employee IS at fault and it’s pretty apparent the company isn’t enforcing or training their employees to stick by the guidelines– or atleast this woman in particular was not following them and that she has, since then, been reprimanded for her actions and that the company has taken steps to insure this DOESN’T happen again. I could think of A TON of reasons this is an issue that should be brought up in the media because other parents seeking reliable child care should know, if there are already such stipulations in place, that it is a very good possibility adhering to them is not something this facility in particular is very good with so other parents can make a more informed decision on sending their child there. Who knows, the negative media attention could force the company as a whole to step its game up and do a little damage control and reinforce their employees to start paying attention to sh*t like this, especially if it is all already specified sh*t.

 If there aren’t any preset regulations and guidelines already standardized and expected to be followed by employees yet regarding incidents like this– media attention may also force the company to create some, like they already should have anyways like most child care providers already do, so this doesn’t happen again or atleast next time any employee decides to be a total f*cking moron, again there are no liability issues and you know the issue of some random person being able to give your child whatever the hell they want and use whatever the hell they want ON YOUR KID is not something that other parents have to deal with because these people just obviously don’t give a f*ck about any of that (Yes some parents do actually care about every little detail like that, I know I am one of them)

These are children, not grown adults, sh*t like this SHOULD be covered on all ends by any child care facility point blank. And personally– how would you not want other people to know “Hey I spent like almost half of my paycheck on a weekly basis paying for child care services here and my 5 year old son came home with chemical burns on his face because when you send your kid here that sh*t really doesn’t matter”– I know that’s something I’m pretty sure everyone should be fully aware of and should have the right to know about before making an informative decision on paying to send their child there.

The media attention, while yes garnishes sympathy and who knows what else this woman really wants (she could be a money hungry b*tch, I’m not saying she’s not, just that there is that complete other possibility that maybe, just maybe, she’s a concerned parent who can’t believe she sent her kid in with a stupid temporary tattoo, that I agree is a terrible f*cking idea on his face, but still lol, he came home looking like this??) Maybe she’d just like to inform the general public this may very well be a big issue alot of parents would like addressed who’s children are already enrolled there, or may possibly be in the future, and the company really needs to reinforce the regulations if they have them already or finally catch up with the rest of the world and make some, so future issues like this could be avoided.. as a parent and someone paying to send their children there, they have every right in the world to know and what better way to “inform the masses” exactly would you suggest?? What if there had been something in the cleaner that the child had an allergic reaction too and it killed him.. I’m sorry but “maybe this woman isn’t as smart as you” doesn’t really justify a possibility like that, ESPECIALLY when children are involved, to me– and I’m sure VERY many others lol but ok then??

Ahh sorry either way she is an idiot look at that poor kids face

Poor kiddo!  Maybe he wanted the tattoo on for the pic? 

 My point is that if the “teacher” knew there was an issue with the eraser she wouldn’t have used it. She wanted the photo to be nice and she did it without malice. She didn’t know.

The child probably will not have scarring. Aside from the minor discomfort there are no real damages unless an opportunistic attorney takes the case and gets a likely settlement.

When I was in preschool and elementary school (not so very long ago) and having my parents I have, the matter would have been taken care of with the teacher and administrators. Case closed.

Acts like this minimize real issues that occur in schools and (this will get me much flack), but if people choose (yes choose) to have children perhaps one parent (mother or father) not working to spending more quality time and having a more frequent face at the school. One of my parents stayed home and we were not rich. We also didn’t have the luxuries that dual working households had, BUT we (my siblings included) had the best teachers in our schools because of parental involvement at least weekly at the school volunteering (highest testing levels in our schools and more than 50% highest in the school district)and better relationships with all family members and with our neighbors. The point: this might have happened, but the human side of it (the teachers) would be more understandable if the mother or father (where is he in this?) had more exposure to where they drop off, waive goodbye, honk horns, and drive the child home if any of that.

What the woman did was a stupid act, it was not everyday practice and she didn’t do it to hurt the child. She made a mistake. There is no permanent injury. There is no financial loss except for the medical attention and the mother’s time off from work. The Teacher is punished and this is apparently not enough.

Just because someone spent months and years writing policy to cover asses doesn’t mean the policy is correct as we have seen here recently on DD regarding an asthmatic child and his inhaler. Perhaps people should get a week to read the novels called company policy. Not many people, even then, have photographic memories.

People are human, so go sue them for that… or home school or cut back to part time employment. If you child’s education and welfare are not worth much more than dumping them without thought with strangers, then don’t have kids. I am not willing to do that and I choose not to adopt – selfish? No – thoughtful.

I’d dump the ‘friend’ who thought this was a good idea. In fact, I would have anchored him or her in the bottom of a ball pit and let them suffocate.

BAZINGA! 

Wait, you haven’t dragged this out in the open for girlfriends? My god, your willpower is amazing.

Ewwwww, those things gross me out. I just know the wee ones do their pee in it.

You sound like my husband…

 Magic Erasers is an even dumber idea than chemicals. I used to work for P&G, I know what they’re made of, and I did it anyway. Stupid, stupid me.

Think rug burn X 100. It was awful.

 WTF?! Who thinks of that?!

 How is a child being burned NOT a real issue?

 I am suing them until they shut down. My son stopped walking, stopped talking, needed 24 hour care, they did not call an ambulance and the burn unit and pediatrician both deemed it abuse. My son has issues now because of this. They gave us 5 different stories and tried to report ME for abuse saying I did it. Yeah, don’t woryy, I am suing them until they are my indentured servants.

I’m not the smartest person in the world and I’ve done plenty of stupid shit, (both on accident and on purpose. The only thing that helps me is that I”m pretty)….BUT ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!??!??!?!??!

Maybe the parents should get a chance to use a magic eraser on HER face.

Dave and busters is for you

I hope she does sue fuck her and the school that hired her for not fessing up asap

Doesnt matter the teacher works on behalf of the school, i work at a college do you know how many of those “tenured” professors have lawsuits againts the school? After all that is the place they work, a friends dad was killed when a garbage truck speeding around a bend too fast toppled over and squashed 3 cars he suffered in agony for hours, from your way of thinking the mom is money hungry if she sues? Same type of liability if u ask me or any lawyer for that matter, it doesnt matter if the school reported it right away or not

And this is exactly why I am a stay at mom!

That is a different incident. We don’t try people in this country for other people’s crimes.

If charges dont start getting filed even through civil court then these people move onto other child care places and it goes on and on til a kid dies

Gee, ever heard of an accident. I’m sure she needs training and should have known better, but she did not mean to do it.

Wow, you’re totally right. What we were all thinking? You’ve shamed us all so badly, I’m sure none of us will ever crack any jokes on here, ever again. Thanks for leading us back to the light!

Hey! Shut your face. I never talk lightly about tequila. That is some serious alcohol, especially 1800 warm and naked.

And by the way, you suck at shaming people.

I am so very sorry about your little boy! Is he doing better now? I think in any of these circumstances I would have ended up in jail smh These people are trusted with our children’s care, THE most important job EVER! 

Wow, thanks for looking it up – I was too lazy to walk out to my kitchen and check the dry eraser on the board at the time. I just did, and all it helpfully states on the eraser is “FOR USE ON DRY ERASER SURFACE ONLY.” Which I would assume a person with average intelligence could infer is non-inclusive of children’s faces.
