A 5-year-old girl was saved from an accidental hanging when another child saw her dangling from a slide and alerted a caregiver in time for the unconscious child’s neck to be untangled from a piece of plastic.
Two 4-year-old children disappeared down a street before a caregiver realized they were missing and left the rest of the children alone while she went out searching.
A 2-year-old girl was taped to a chair because she was moving too much.
A 10-month-old boy died from heat stroke after being left in a van on a hot day.
These are among hundreds of incidents during the past five years that resulted in safety violations at child day care centers around the Lowcountry and the state.
Nobody loves your child as you do. There are very conscientious and good child care providers, but even then they do not love the children as good parents do. You have to realize this when you you choose to send your small child to child care, or when, if you have no choice, you choose a provider.
