My son was abused 11/8/2005

I took my son to this daycare when he was about 18 mos old. It was his first time at a daycare and he was only going 2 days a week. I thought this day care was so cute, and everyone seemed friendly. The price was right, and it is very close to my house. They had also been in business for 15 years at the time I took my son about 2 years ago. Well my son had a hard time adjusting to the nap schedule there, but had finally got it down. One day I went to pick him up when the director took me aside and told me that it wasn't working out with him and that she thought I needed to remove him from the day care. I thought that odd, since all his teachers had told me he was doing much better. Then my son comes running up to me, and his ear is black and blue. I asked the director about it and she said "oh I think he must have bumped it" His ear was BLACK and BLUE, and they had an incident report that stated they had NO IDEA how it happened. If he had bumped himself that hard to make it so black and blue, they surely would have noticed. The next day when I was showing my mother, we noticed a scratch on his ear , and while I was looking at it I noticed that the size of the bruise and the scratch all matched up with a thumb and fingernail. I filed a police report and they were cited for 3 different infractions, 1 for not KNOWING what happened and failing to protect my child, 1 for letting the kids intermingle with older kids, and another for unsafe play equipment. I never could prove that someone actually did that to him, but I would NEVER recommend this daycare to ANYONE! more
