Yah saw that in news....only in OZ.....LOL
I must say that my Day care is awesome...they dont leave untill all kids are gone. And they charge for any one who goes past the 6pm mark $50 per 15 min. Which is fair and not just locking up and leaving with a child still inside. Crazy! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You have to wonder how long she'd been in that bouncer before she fell asleep. Such a dangerous situation for that poor little girl, what if she hadn't gone to sleep and the bouncer fell on her and she couldn't get if off her.

I agree you do have to wonder how long she had been in that bouncer. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

That is shocking! Surely they have routines in place to make certain all the children have been picked up?
I don't understand why they waited around for so long for the manager to get there to unlock either?! 50 minutes is too long when its a baby on their own, I would have been breaking in! Scary, scary stuff! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

This story had me huffing and puffing around the office and making everyone read it. I was so angry! I think it might be a bit too close to home with daycare and all that.
In fact even just thinking about it makes me fume.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ok so that made me angry
I always read things and wonder how I would react! I would have lost the plot at the owner when they returned, there is no way that should happen! |

OMG, I would have been smashing windows and getting in there to get my baby out.
That would so never happen at our daycare. Like yours Roksana, we get charged $50 for every 15 mins you are late and at least two teachers stay behind with the kiddies whose parents are late. I've late twice when, and it was horrible, but I knew he'd be ok with his lovely teachers. |
