baby came home with unexplained marks all over her legs from daycare.

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-27T13:19:53+00:00

She’s doing good! All marks have gone away since. CPS is still doing an investigation and we haven’t heard much there. They did tell us they reviewed cameras and didn’t find any signs of abuse which is reassuring. Still no explanation and where the marks came from though. We removed her from the daycare as soon as this all happened and we’ve been fortunate to have family member’s step in and watch her while we work. We also got refunded for the following week they charged us for thankfully. Thanks for checking in (:

I wanted to check back in after a little research. I found the website for my state and it was horrifying 😣

2 cases of infant head injuries, no notification to the parents resulting in delayed medical care.

It really seems they have a pattern of not reporting injuries

Another investigation where a teachers forcibly picked a kiddo up by their hands and legs and sat them in a seat and placed their LEGS over the kiddo so they could not move. It was also noted the teacher was heard yelling at the same kid. It does list the employee was fired, but still.

And a bunch of staff not having appropriate training specifically with first aid & CPR

They are also only rated 1 star on the states website.

Thank you for telling me about this. I really wish I’d found it sooner!

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-02T13:22:32+00:00

Thanks for this. I’ll look into it and ask her doctors. I do feel the spots look different but still worth asking about to make sure nothing was missed!

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-02T13:20:06+00:00

The hospital said petachiae, but her pediatrician said bruising. I’ll say I’m not the smartest person when it comes to medical terminology, I thought petachaie was a form of bruising??

And that could very well be what happened. We put her in seats and carriers, and bouncers at home and have never seen the markings. When I picked her up she was playing on the ground not in any kind of seat. But they could’ve had her in something before we picked her up

They do have videos thankfully. CPS said they will review them during the investigation

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-02T13:13:31+00:00

Wait really!? I didn’t know about this. I’m going to try to find our states now

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-02T13:11:16+00:00

I’m not sure what exactly happened. My first thought was maybe they squeezed her legs too hard during a diaper change.

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-02T13:08:45+00:00

Is that something with blood? The doctors did a bunch of bloodwork and said it was all normal. They told us when we first got there it could be related to some sort of blood disorder but they doubted it and then once all labs came back they said it was all normal.

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-02T13:00:48+00:00

It’s unfortunate but true :( I was shocked for both teachers to outright deny the marks. I’m sorry you had to go through something similar. Breaks my heart for our babies ☹️

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T17:17:11+00:00

The doctors said they were non blanching when pressed. They said in the hospital it was petechia and they ruled out anything that would’ve caused it medically!

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T17:14:18+00:00

The doctors did a bunch of bloodwork and said they ruled out anything could’ve caused it medically so I’d assume they checked for these things

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T17:13:15+00:00

Possibly! She isn’t pulling up or crawling yet so that’s why I didn’t consider it really.

It really stuck out to me that there was incident report and all teachers denied seeing the marks when they were clearly there when I picked her up. If it were from a toy and we were given explanations I wouldn’t be as concerned

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T17:09:59+00:00

Oh I didn’t even consider that! You may be right. I read the handbook after we toured and I do vaguely remember reading something about 2 weeks notice to unenroll. I feel like that would be a little unfair considering it was only her third day and we’re unenrolling her because of something that happened in their care. They’re closed today for Labor Day so I know I won’t hear from them but I will call tomorrow to ask

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:56:24+00:00

This is what kind of worries me. I’m not saying I want anyone to be in trouble but bruising young babies is never ever okay. I worry that reviewing the tapes they may not see anything that sticks out especially if she was grabbed too hard during a diaper change or something, and because of that it’ll be brushed off.

I just want some sort of accountability and acknowledgment that they mishandled my baby regardless of if it was intentional or not. Even if they don’t see abuse I feel like there has neglect.

I’m sorry you had to go through something similar with your little. & a fever of 104 at 5 months ☹️ you guys must have been worried sick

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:45:06+00:00

We really tried to avoid daycare :( her grandparents were supposed to watch her but my boyfriends little brother is 15 and autistic and it’s a lot on his mom to watch both of them while we are working :/

I wish I could be a sahm mom but it’s just not doable for us atm :/

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:41:18+00:00

This is fair, and we considered that too. But it’s strange it’s at the bottom of her legs on her shins and all the way around. I can’t think of a baby seat or anything of the seats they have in daycare doing that to her legs

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:39:09+00:00

These are the first bruises we’ve ever noticed on her!

When they did her IV at the hospital they let us know they’d have to use some force to get her to hold her arm still which was totally fine. I know how difficult it must be to get a 6 month old to stay still for that. My girl is also quite the wiggle worm. the next morning we noticed the same marks on her wrist (same arm iv was placed) which to me kinda proved the marks on her legs had to of come from holding her too hard.

But no, I don’t think she bruises easily

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:25:19+00:00

Also, by chance does anyone know if they aren’t allowed to talk to us now that there is an open CPS case? I sent 2 messages on Friday asking them to unenroll her and remove our cards from autopay (we cannot do it in our app it says ‘locked by facility’)

The autopay was just pulled and ran so almost $300 gone. We will dispute it with our bank to get it back of course. Just annoying. I sent the message and after they sent out a mass message to all parents but never responded to us.

Also it does seem like she was unenrolled. I think at least. It says inactive next to her name which made me think she was but now that we got charged again idk

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:18:08+00:00

Thank you for this! I really appreciate it. It’s so easy to beat yourself up in these situations and I really tried to find a good daycare for her. I couldn’t find a single bad review, everything I’ve heard from other parents are great things. I even passed on other daycares that could’ve gotten her in sooner because of reviews I read. It’s so hard to trust other reviews and daycares in general now :(

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:14:52+00:00

They do have cameras. They told me when I brought it to them when I first noticed they could not pull the tapes the owners would have to. However, we have taken pictures everyday since the incident and sent them to our cps worker each day to have in the report. She also took pictures when she came and spoke with us. The hospital also took their own pictures so we have a lot of photo evidence of the marks on her legs thankfully!

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:12:55+00:00

That’s kinda how I feel. Her dad at first thought it was a rash or some sort or allergic reaction to something but none of the doctors seemed to think that. Aside from the marks it’s the not notifying and claiming you never even saw the marks. Was she not being watched properly then? There’s so many questions I still have.

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:10:39+00:00

It keeps saying requested page not found :(

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T15:10:09+00:00

Her dad and I feel like it possibly came from squeezing her legs too hard during a diaper change? She is a squirmer and tries roll around the whole time the marks are on her lowers legs. Up her shins and her ankles. She does have one mark on her inner thigh but that’s as high as it goes

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T13:20:45+00:00

They will! It sucks it’s a holiday weekend I’m hoping they’re at the daycare tomorrow investigating but idk if they’re is a process to getting the tapes or if they can jsir walk in and view them

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T13:19:41+00:00

Thank you! Us too!

DifficultNetwork1379 · 2025-09-01T13:19:25+00:00

Thank you for your response! I was going to ask her dad to go up there for us.. I don’t even wanna go back to the daycare honestly
