Many working parents depend upon daycare to look after their kids during their work hours. Certainly, we want to believe that those taking care of our little sweethearts are capable and responsible individuals worthy of our confidence.
Maybe we'd better think twice, though, given what happened recently at an Arkansas daycare.
Apparently, a staff member at the place served some precious darlings a liquid refreshment that could have taken them out for good. She, evidently, served them what she says she believed was a standard drink, but, which turned out, instead, to be windshield wiper fluid. Allegedly, a container of the highly toxic stuff was put into the same fridge with other snacks and the daycare worker mistook it for Kool-Aid and gave it to ten kids.
The children were hospitalized, once the horrific error was discovered, and one child is still in pretty bad condition.
Everybody makes mistakes, I know, but who, with any common sense, would have put a bottle of windshield wiper fluid in a refrigerator with children's refreshments?These kids could have died!
Parents were ticked and the operator of the daycare has, since, turned in her license.
Man, just who in the world can you trust anymore?
