2-Year-Old Locked Inside Daycare, Mom Was 15 Minutes Late

- A mother was distraught when she showed up to her child’s daycare a few minutes late to find that her 2-year-old had been locked inside the facility - alone! Stephanie Martinez, who was just 15 minutes late picking up her daughter, understandably freaked out. She called 911 for help, and the operator was shocked at the situation she described. The toddler had to push a chair to the door to stand on, in order to call out to her mother. Stephanie watched helplessly as she called out “Mommy!”
No... you don’t have to “Re-train” all of them. Every one knows that’s wrong. You don’t need new training. Just fire the people that did it. It’s not the entire staffs fault.
Just like in the case of gorge Floyd? Only Derek should be charged?
@@016steamy What?
@@016steamy please do not start a blm protest here. This is not even remotely the same 🤦🏻♀️
@Heather nicole one ruins it for all. Re train everyone! No blm protest. Simply an example. I know there was no death involved, but how can you get hired without training for being EDC when you neglect the only thing you're meant to take care of? So, way to jump to conclusions. You're the type who p pass would be denied.
Re train everyone! I know your type. Pure drama is probably still single. Having to rely on daycare and having kids at an early age with no father figure. 😒
Go feminist
Edit: imagine this was all male staff? How would the feminist act then?
@@heathernicole4916 good look by the way, emo. Smh
As someone who worked in childcare for 5 years there’s been times when parents have been late, but I would never leave a child. The caretakers should be arrested for child endangerment
@@red6hot1913 It sounds like arresting the parent is the point in your statement? The post indicates arresting the daycare caretaker fir negligence, not the parent.
@@Gizziiusa You get what you pay for? lol. You’ve got a fk’d up sense of thinking. This argument plays a role in regard to the quality of education your child may receive, but not in this case. This is unacceptable, regardless of the price.
@@turtle22phoenix the caretakers as in the daycare workers
@@deanna4146 There was another comment I was responding fo, not the OG Post. It looks like it got deleted.
@nixi pixel So, to clarify, I'm not saying the parent should be arrested. There was a different comment that replied to the original comment, that suggested to arrest the parent as they misunderstood the original comment. I was trying to clarify with them, but it looks like they deleted their post. The mother could have been hindered from picking up her child for whatever reason. I'm on the side of the mother, I never said she should be arrested.
My mom had a seizure while driving to pick me and my siblings up in elementary. We were the last kids, just standing outside waiting, and my old kindergarten teacher allowed us back into the room. She stayed there with us for a good 3-4 hours until my dad could get off work, get my mom, and then get us. She even got us snacks and turned on the old TV. This is inexcusable
How old was the TV?
That’s really sweet
They probably didn't know, can almost guarantee she was hiding
@@Zeromaus you check the kids in and out so they should of known.
@@HerecomestheCalavera ha ha and how old was the teacher?

I've worked at multiple Day Cares and if the mother is late, they charge them and I couldn't leave until that last child was picked up. This is really unacceptable
Right! Like just wait and get your money! I would of just chilled while on my phone waiting for the mom to come ...15mins will not kill you lol
@@amEAGLEBABY5 agreed. I didn't mind staying that extra 15 minutes. Lol.
Yes that’s how it should work. Charge them extra if they continue being late, but NEVER leave a child unattended like that.
Well its time for the rules to be changed around here its a daycare for fukn reason otherwise banned these soo call3d daycares and you do not leave them like wild animals locked up in a room demons 🤬😈 evil at its finest
@@amEAGLEBABY5 Employees won't get the money.....the daycare will.
The daycare center needs to be held accountable for this, this isn’t something you can just slap on a “The safety of our children is our top priority” and call it a day. Clearly it isn’t their top priority. I can only imagine how much the mom wished she could just unlock the door to let her child out, but of course she couldn’t do that without the keys.
Hopefully she contacted an attorney and is pressing charges of some kind. At least to get some licenses revoked for whoever was directly responsible
Bet the publicity of this killed their business
"All their staff will now be retrained" All them should be fired and after that pass time in jail!!
Honestly, who needs a key at that point? Why just not just break in yourself?
@@Inquisitor_Vex definitely would've broken the glass without a second thought
Child endangerment requires more than just an apology to make things right. I'm surprised the daycare didn't get into more trouble.
It's the US, their legal system doesn't work that well.
@@Ligmamonkey
As someone from the US, I agree.
There is no way you can forget about a child before locking up a daycare. I’m an elementary school teacher and I’ve worked in numerous daycares. Even a quiet kid doesn’t go unnoticed in proper care.
Exactly. So what seems more probable? A daycare completely leaving a child behind on the dark or a mom that let an auto locking door close behind her between her and her child.
This was 100% deliberate….they left her so they could go home. Whoever did it deserves to be fired
@@kylishawillow9372 They deserve to be charged with child endangerment
Nobody said they forgot about the child. They left her there and didn't want to wait for the mother.
the quiet kid doesn’t go unnoticed that made me laugh 😂
”Retrained on child supervision”… leaving a two-year old alone doesn’t require training it requires COMMON SENSE.
Staff will be retrained in common sense. 🙄

@@tomhappening 😂😂
@@tomhappening wtf is wrong with you
When the little girl is braver them the mom
I work at a daycare and literally cannot fathom how this would happen. You have to clean the classroom at the end of the night so they definitely should have known she was still in there. Our last one or two kids always come up front to wait for their parents in the office with us. We also have to keep a record of signing in, out, or transferring classrooms with name-to-face checks as we do so. Extreme negligence on their part
I do too. We call the parents or whoever is picking up and say hey it's about closing time we may need to call your emergency contact soon if you can't make it. We have a book where we sign each child in by the time they come in and the time they leave or A for absent and the staff member initials it with their initials. This almost makes me wonder if she was left alone because moms been late one too many times and they had enough not saying thats right at all but sure makes you wonder. I mean she should have called and said hey I'm running a little late because of whatever I'm on the way.
How is it there was nobody around. Unbelievable.
I've never worked at a daycare i thought they called CPS after a certain point....not lock the kids inside like a dog.
Racism and lack care for anyone else..
florida
The person that locked her needs to be fired immediately. The mother need to press Charges against the day care and the person. This is a crime. I can’t imagine how they treat her and other kids inside 😳😡💔
What a brave baby!
And mom🥺😭
*stupid
Honestly, it doesn’t matter how many mins she was late. The daycare should have called her and asked was everything okay, and if she would be late picking up her daughter. This was negligence at its finest! I would honestly sue, and ask to see surveillance footage. How could there have been a thorough check before everyone left, because I have a hard time believing it was. This is so scary as a parent, but even more traumatizing for the poor baby!
hope she was not doing her nails. It would be the second mistake of the day i guess.
@@risenergyspot85 uh…ok? moms can’t have nails now? no matter what she was doing, she was just 15 minutes late. time gets away. in any case, the daycare can’t lock up a child even if the mom was hours late.
Just wait till the southern bordees get ahold one of you grandchildren
@@xoxohayaati they never said she cant you know
Moms who work so hard to provide for their kids isn’t easy at all. I have a daycare if I’m one minute late they will charge $1 per minute. Honestly I work far I found a job that would pay me well but the driving distance sucked. I let the day care know it will take me an hour to get there. They don’t care :/ I don’t trust baby sitters because of past trauma I went through as a child I don’t blame my mom because she was hustling too to provide for me and my sisters.
If this daycare believes this is a “training” issue, they’re delusional and should be shut down for good.
Yeah I’m not a big kid person but I think even I, with no training, could figure out that leaving a 2 year old locked up alone in the dark is bad probably
That is something that doesn't need training. It's basically common sense not to leave a kid alone.
@@popejaimie I doubt they did it on purpose. She could have fallen asleep in a corner or something. Never the less, they should have a checklist that they mark off, as the kids leave AND check the entire building before the last person leaves and turns the lights off.
True you don't need training to understand that you can't leave and lock up a two year old child alone in the dark!
If this is the only incident I've had in a long time than , no
This had me in tears!! How could they not wait 😰
"Nothing is more important than the safety of our children." DOESNT SOUND LIKE IT!!
As a daycare employee your #1 most important part of the job is to have a check list of every kid that came that day. You're supposed to keep an eye on EVERY SINGLE KID. You're supposed to know if a kid wasn't picked up yet. That's straight up neglect, abandonment, and child endangerment. When parents were late, I'd ALWAYS stay if there was a child still there. Not once did I ever think "Well its time to close let's go, okay bye see ya!" And lock up. LIKE WTF
Edit: Also if the parent is late, they're supposed to get charged.
Not just a check list but compassion and love for our little people. This daycare should be shut down.
Thankyou for taking good care of the children.
You're awesome, we lack so much empathy now a days.
I think it was a careless accident.
Yes! Former infant and toddler teacher here…. You do not clean up and lock up until every child is signed out! The fact this happened PROVES this center does not follow protocol for signing students in and out…. Or this would never have happened if they did! Or if they cleaned and sanitized after all kids left… they would have seen her. Seems like a case of just running out the door as soon as your shift ends… and definitely proves major violations because I can think of 4 regulations that would have prevented this from happening if they were being followed.

Smart kid for standing up on a chair to level with the screen of the door to see her. How can a kid be left behind? I don't understand that. It's A DAYCARE! They suck at watching kids.
Having the audacity to leave a two years old BABY alone in the dark without thinking twice about what harm might come to her or even contemplating why the mother was late is just LOW
Like that person doesn't deserve to ever be around children talk less of taking care of them because she CLEARLY can't even do that.
That is just insane that person who locked a child inside needs to go to jail and be fired
Staff doesn't need training to realize that leaving a child alone is not ok. They need common sense. Fire them ASAP
I just wanna kniw how do you forget a child in a daycare
@@japneetsaini5441 how does it even happen? they just end up thinking “im too busy to deal with a child rn” and leave them there?
Yes we can train Common Sense.
They'll just let anyone be a teacher/be around children. These people should be going through some serious training and tests, instead they hire some absolute failures off the street without any care for the children.
I was in the US Army. I have seen more than a few training sessions that could be boiled down to "HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE YOU DAM IDIOTS."
Of course, civilian training sessions would be far more polite.
It’s understandable that the mom was a little late but the daycare closing up with a 2 year old child still locked 🔒 inside all by herself without any adult supervising her is unacceptable that should never have happened at all.

I just cried ! But im proud of the little girl for being so calm
Its so unacceptable to leave a child by herself
Maybe this will also remind the mom that it’s not ok to be perpetually late to show up for your kids
“This kind of thing”, this wasn’t a “thing”, this was child neglect and it should be dealt with as such
Ridiculous. The place needs to be closed down.

@@RageBaby587 The place or the person who should've been taking care of this child?
So child neglect isn't a thing?
She was so smart to get the chair so that she could see out the window and her mom could see her. She didn't cry. She wasn't upset. She was just like here I am. But if I was her mom I will be crying hysterically as well.
That's actually a typical developmental step that is looked for at that age.
The fact that she wasn't hysterical is INCREDIBLY brave though considering she was in a dark room all alone.
That’s actually human iq if youre too dumb to understand, and while you’re out there crying over your child locked into the other room try take a time and see how people in Madagascar and Africa watching their children die from starvation

I’m glad the girl stood on a chair so people could see her
"Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the children in our care" actions speak louder than words..... glad the little girl is ok.
Actions of one staff member. You don't know how the other ones treat the kids so you can't really say that.

They literally left her on purpose bc they wanted to go home. No excuse
@Edoc why do you think kids go to daycare in the first place.
Actions always speak louder then words.
Whoever left this precious child alone, needs to be held accountable. They need to be charged. I'm glad she is ok.
I highly doubt this was done on purpose. Most likely she was hiding or they couldn’t find her and assumed she was picked up.
My guess is she was asleep somewhere and a new employee didn't check and assumed all the kids were picked up. Its hard to find good help these days.

I’ve worked in daycares, we ALWAYS stayed with the children no matter how late a mother/father is. You don’t need to be trained to know not to leave a baby by herself, locked in a building like that. it’s disgusting, they need to be shut down and looked into who knows how many other kids they’ve done this to.
It's obvious they didn't intend to leave her alone. She must have been out of sight when they locked up.
Of course it's still their fault for not keeping track of her.
This company on particular has done it before and they'll do it again. It may not be reported but being a witness myself. Ya. Its messed up
She could have easily gotten hurt or worse.
Yeah
@@greengrendel Highly doubt that
Regardless of how long the mother or guardian is late you never leave a child alone
Right. You call the law if you must but you do not leave them
You don’t require training to know that you don’t leave a 2 year old at a day care alone. That’s called common sense.
The immediate step they should take to “ensure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again” is closing down the daycare. How do you lock up and forget a two-year-old inside?
I'd pull my kid out if this happened at a daycare. Even if it didn't specifically happen to my kid. Hopefully the parents there will do the same and they'll go out of business 🙏
Yup! Shut it down. The city should revoke their permit for this leading to a subsequent closure.
Hey, it was just one mistake the daycare made. One mistake like that should not justify the entire daycare getting shut down. This was just one incident. The person who should be held responsible is the person who locked her in in the first place.
@@briannaiglesias5863 it absolutely should until they rewrite their policy and replace all the staff members involved.
@@anxiousbear6840 Hey, I'm just giving the daycare the benefit of the doubt, ok? Yes, what happened to the child was both horrible and downright stupid, but that's on part of the person who locked her in there and just straight up abandoned her without really checking to see if she was still in there or not. That person should be held accountable for their ignorance and irresponsibility.
I worked at a daycare in the toddler room. 1 and 2 year olds. This is NEVER supposed to happen! Ever! It is straight up negligence. Doesn't matter why the parent was late, how many times she was late or how late she was. Someone STAYS until every last child has gone home. Period. Unacceptable.
Exactly. I wonder how this day care can be opened🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️
How come they lock her inside by her self!?
Exactly. Even call the cops. Let them watch the kid. Just don’t leave the child by themself. Wtf.
It's unacceptable. The girl who worked there knew what she was doing but didn't care at ALL. Made the child suffer instead
It was just a selfish teacher. She thought her needs were more important.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeng this little girl there all alone broke my heart, the only good thing is that she doesn't look scared, so I hope she's able to forget this quickly.
This is totally unacceptable and unbelievable. That daycare needs to be shut down. Such carelessness and neglect on their part.
Sounds like someone needs to be charged with child endangerment. This is unfathomable to me how this even happens. Unreal. The mom should sue and the people responsible should be fired, not "retrained". Clearly they weren't trained to begin with.

She was kinda safe in there. At least she couldn't leave the building and go wonder off. It happens all the time. The school locked my son outside. No one noticed. He was standing at the door and knocking and calling but no one noticed for hours till a teacher walked by and saw him. He was ice cold and alone in tears. So they told me when I went to pick him up. And said that they apologised to him and he said it was okay.

"Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the children"
Refuses to wait around for 15 minutes till a 2 year olds mother arrives. Decides the best option is to just lock the baby inside and come back tomorrow LMAO WTH is wrong with these people.
I worked in a (Canadian) daycare/Osc for over ten years, and we had plenty of late pickups over that time period; we always had at least one staff stay late. We’d do a room count frequently with our attendance list, and while sleeping kids do take longer to count, and can be (very) sneaky in looking for a private napping spot, there’s only so many spots they can curl up in.
Closing routines involved taking turns cleaning while the other staff watched the last couple of kids, then after they were each individually signed out as their parents arrived, we’d check each room to be safe; under tables, in cubbies, behind every shelf that wasn’t against a wall, in big enough toy bins with lids, etc. Only _after_ that would we do lights off & lock up.
But my best guess here isn’t that they decided to lock up with the kid inside; I’m betting that one of the staff finished signing out the second to last kid for the day, no one did a room walk-through as they were supposed to, and just assumed all the kids were gone. Then I bet they just signed the kid out and assumed they missed them leave earlier in the day, and locked up. This is literally one of the precautionary scenarios we’re given in our courses and trained against to prevent, so this *never* should’ve happened. It’s just plain negligent.
@@kiddfaith4397 exactly.. no matter what happened, it's the staffs fault.. even if EVERY KID is checked off the list, you still MAKE SURE there's nobody left in the building before locking it & leaving..

@@w0lfamongus421
Oh, most certainly it’s the fault of an employee, as I said. And, naturally, that staff member should be fired, as any responsible daycare would do that.
its probably their on their phones and they aren’t paying attention or its these new teachers who only care and talk about themselves
Clearly, the last thing that’s important to them is the children in their care if they’re leaving a kid inside locked unattended.
As someone that works with kids, this is heartbreaking
I'm not a parent-- but if this were me, this facility would be hit with a massive lawsuit. The staff don't need to be "retrained"... They need to be fired and charged with child endangerment.

I 100% agree. I would start a law suit so fast. Poor baby.
I had to pull my 4 month old son from a Kinder Care Daycare Oct 2023 in a suburb in MN. I dropped him off early morning at opening went straight to work on my break I called to see if they fed my son a bottle because it wasn't logged in the parents app and she confirmed my son has not been fed. This was shortly after 1pm when I called and dropped him off at 6:40am. that morning. I was soo heartbroken, I ended up quiting my Job to be home with him. Thank Jesus my family was in the position for me to do so.
My daughter is two and this would kill me to see her little face locked in and confused. Poor pookie.❤❤
This is awful. So glad that the little girl was found unharmed and safe. This happened to me 25 years ago. My daughter was 2 also. They were about to close when I got there. There was a sign-in/out sheet that was required. I was told that my daughter had been picked up already. Imagine my shock and surprise when I asked "by who?" There was a short list of people who have permission to pick her up and there was no name on the sign out sheet. I was told "your sister picked her up". Which wasn't true because we hadn't discussed it. So, after a few more minutes of "where's my child", I called the police and my husband. They came right away, did a search and found my daughter soak and wet from the waist down, crying and huddled in the bathroom (unharmed, after I took her to ER to be checked). Whoever took her for a potty break, never came back nor did they bother or notice that she was missing. Had I not gotten there in time, they would've locked the school up for the night. No one took accountability for negligence or excepting blame. I immediately removed my daughter from the school, made up flyers and passed them out in front of the daycare letting other parents know what happens in this place.
Shelbi, what a terrifying experience 😳 Thank u for sharing that. U must've been horrified. I can't imagine, but, I can sympathize as my daughter once got away from me for a little while in a grocery store & I nearly had a coronary! ❤
Jeez, that poor baby. I've personally panicked before because a few kids would be missing but it was either because they were taken to another class or went home early. Also, with the potty training ones, I just stand outside the door and if they're struggling, I help.
@Julie Hudson Thank you. It was horrific. It took me some time to trust another daycare with my child. I was fortunate enough to have a village who jumped in after this ordeal to look after her. Reading about this mother and child, I was immediately triggered, even after 25 years. You NEVER forget the trauma, but you do heal.
THATS HORRIBLE 😢😢😢 I hope the daycare went out of business
@Trinity Livingston Thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience. I appreciate it.
You can’t retrain stupidity and inhumane behavior. This smart baby girl stood on something to lift herself up to be seen…Whoever did this Should be charged with a crime. This is the most bizarre deliberate act in an environment where this should never ever happen. We need the name of the person who did this!
Absolutely
You can't retain stupidity and inhumane behavior. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
If a parent did this to their kid, cps would take the kid and the parents would be going to jail for child endangerment!
Agreed this is just baffling
Training a worker to not leave a child behind at a daycare all alone, Is like Training a chef to not cook with bleach. No manual in the world would spell out common sense.
I hope they're investigating whomever left this little girl locked up in there. If she can this to a clients child and not gaf. I can only imagine what she'll do to the kids in her own life!!
Retrained? 😒😠 They need to be FIRED! 😤😤🤦🏾♀️
The way her Mother is sobbing, what a helpless feeling, so scary. I'm glad the little one is ok.
I guarantee her she no longer takes the child there anymore
Women always overreacting hoss lol
Thank god for the red circle!
@@stonedpaladin8632 fr
Little is more ok then mother is ok lol
This is unbelievable. I had an in home daycare and couldn't imagine leaving a little one alone cause mom didn't show up on time. I don't care if it's an hour or two. Shoot....I'd tuck them in for bed at my home if needed. Whoever was in charge that evening needs to be held accountable. If a parent did that with a 2 year old you know there would be charges filed and CPS would be involved.
💖❤️❤️❤️
@@ripalltrac The mother needs to be held accountable imo
People have lives, who did mom think was watching the kid those 15 minutes?
Edit: WAIT, so it starts with the original commenter. Sarita thought they left the kid ON PURPOSE, NOOOOO THAT IS WHERE THIS DISINFORMATION STEMMED FROM, NO ONE LEFT CHILD THERE ON PURPOSE AT ALL. HAD MOTHER CALLED THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS A CHILD STILL THERE, THEY JUST ASSUMED EVERYONE HAD BEEN PICKED UP. OMGOSH YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY JUST LEFT HER THERE ON PURPOSE,,?? NOOOOOO
CPS isn’t gonna do much anyway.
@@JaneCooper190072 Idk maybe the person who's job it is to watch them... lmao
@@JaneCooper190072 15 minutes isn't even a lot if time. Also whoever left that kid alone can be charged with child endangerment.
The staff should had gave the mom a call or call the employer.
People who took on a job in caring for small children know their responsibilities.
I looked up all the news reports on this case because this report and people's comments were so inflammatory I wanted to know more. Just to clarify -- they didn't purposely lock the child inside and leave. They thought she'd already been picked up and the facility was empty. That doesn't excuse what happened or make it right, but people need to know how it actually happened. The facility was closed and locked at 6:20 and the FD was dispatched at 6:28, so the child was there alone for only a minute or two before her mom arrived, tried all the doors and windows, and then called 911. Still a terrible thing to happen to any child and mother no matter how long or short the timeframe was. I would've been frantic, too. People need to know more details before commenting on these 2 minute clips.
Oh my gosh. This hurts my heart.
No words for actions like this, hopefully someone gets charged.
And fired.
@@ChineduOpara Without a question.
And sueeddddd
And imprisoned

The Mum could’ve been an hour late and they still shouldn’t lock the baby inside.
What if there was a fire?
What if the baby started to choke?
Totally irresponsible.
@@jemmaj2919 thats actually how it is done in belgium :s we have an exessife amount of safety on childcare/daycare. because of an accident that happend Few years ago. also one time my godchild was "forgotten" by their parents after school-closing time. but i had my phone number written down in his diary for school, thus i was phoned and went to pick him up. he was sitting at the desk from the school principal. there will always be someone that stays after hours . no child is left alone. this is unbelieveable :s
I'm pretty sure they didn't know the child was there.
I read that in Gordon Ramsey’s voice
@@marywest1230 that's no excuse. They should've checked before locking up and going home that there were no children still to be picked up.
Obviously they didn't mean to lock the kid in She was probably out of site thus forgotten about.
Whoever left her in there needs to be arrested, for endangerment and abandonment of a child.
They need close this daycare down
Daycare staff “must” be accountable on the negligence they did to this cuuutie baby. This was unacceptable, this was a very very serious matter to deal with. I feel the pain of the mom she was going through. I couldn’t bear seeing that little toddler’s situation. I’m seriously emotionally hurt too. I love children. They’re innocent, they need love & care.
I agree. This should not be legal at all. No excuses. The child could have suffered more severe fates being locked in the dark like that. It is absolutely negligence. Daycars that justify and practice this should be abolished because this is very very inhumane
How can any Daycare worker possibly NOT see or know a child is still inside. I would think every child's name is on a sheet and the parent has to sign out and they know where each child IS. I would absolutely hold the daycare accountable and every worker that was on duty when the child got left
What is wrong with you? The child wasn't hurt in any way.
@@azazello1784 The child was two and they locked her in the singular room in the daycare center with the lights out, no food, no water. They locked both doors, they clearly expected the two year old to be there all night.
@@Kalani_Saiko anyone could easily survive 15 or so hours without food and water
WTF.. I couldn't leave any child inside a dark, locked building I don't care if the parents were a HOUR LATE!!! I'm gonna make sure the baby is ok! That is just crazyyy!!!! Whoever did this has no patience or care and has NO business working in a daycare! Ugh!
The child probably hid and was not seen and left behind. But anything other than this scenario is child endangerment and is punishable by law
@@youreverydaylemonfriend560 yeah the baby probably fell asleep or was hiding where the employees can’t find her
@@youreverydaylemonfriend560 that literally doesnt matter theres sign in and sign out for a reason, they could EASILY see she was never signed out. This is terrifying. Daycare should be shut down.
@@youreverydaylemonfriend560 Just FYI, all daycares have sign in/out procedures for just this reason, and a binder with contact information ans medical backround for each child in easy reach for caretakers. Even is a child was hidden, unless the parent came and signed them out the childs name would still be on the roster. And so you should be calling the police if a child is missing, not locking up and leaving.
I used to work for an after school program, about 3-6 times a year i had to take a child home with me, or drive them to their home because the parents had issues making a pickup. But procedure is always step 1: call or text the usual pickup person, step 2: call the second number if you dont get a response. Step 3 call the program administrator and inform them of the situation. Step 4: call next of kin if included in the notes. Step 5: if still no contact take the child home with you(or drop off at program admins home) step 6: if several hours have passed with no contact then the admin will contact police and social services.
Only had to take a student to my home 3 times only once did one end up staying the night.
About 5 min before our closing time i began calling around to figure out a pickup for an 8 year old girl. No answer from mom or dads cells. After looking around was able to get grandma on Facebook messenger, apparently mom, Dad, and older brother were in a really bad car accident, and grandma lived about 5 hours away. I told her no problem, i would take the girl back to my house for the night and get her to school in the morning.
Everyone lived through that accident though the parents were severely injured, it was a head on collision at about 45 mph with a smaller vehicle. The other driver was at fault, and didnt survive the crash.
Luckily since i hadnt told the girl exactly why she was spending the night (she just thought it was the coolest) she got a good nights sleep, and after i learned in the morning everyone was going to be OK i told her we were going to go see her parents jn the hospital and that they were hurt, but going to be OK. Mom had a cast and lots of bruising, Dad had cuts and bruises, and had been pierced by something in the impact. Brother was suffering a concussion bruising, and some cuts.
I have worked at a child care center this seems unbelievable, but parents do constantly show up late but they where charged 10 dollars every 5 mins for being late.
I hope she's never that late and most importantly, she never takes her daughter to that child care.
That's child neglect, those people need to be arrested for it.
you said brother
Do true daycares get too much slack!!!!! The whole facility needs to be shut down
It sure is neglect. The mom didn't even call to say she was running late...again.
Not only should that "staff" be fired, they should be arrested for child endangerment! What kind of sick low life trash thinks it's okay to abandon a 2 yr old like that?! I hope the mom sues and that daycare is shut down.
Bro it’s the kids fault, she shoulda just unlocked the door
@@cartermarrero9431 what the hell is wrong with YOU??? She's only 2 years old!!! Didn't you listen to what was said? She had to push a chair to the door to be seen! She doesn't know how to unlock a door!

Poor baby... Cant even imagine what thoughts that must have been going on in her little mind.
Wow. Just wow
I was locked in the bathroom at a daycare at age 3. I still remember it to this day and don’t understand why it happened. I remember filling the sink with water and playing in it to calm my anxiety after discovering I couldn’t open the door. Even now, ice cold water on my skin calms my nerves. After that happened, my mother never put us in another daycare again. You really can not trust people to tend to your children properly. It’s scary and unfortunate since daycare is so necessary for some.
My mom would leave me and my little sister with a woman she knew who had a home daycare. I was maybe 2 or 3 and I told my mom the lady would leave my sister in the basement alone and smack my sister. My mom didn't believe it until she saw bruises on her. I only have like 3 people I actually leave my kids to when I absolutely have to. I also had a friend who used to work in a daycare and she told me how she hated it because a lot of the other workers would yell at the kids and not change the diapers until the parents were about to pick up and the kids would often have rashes because of it.

Exactly. This kid could of died it was 15 minutes yes but it was a two year old kid. Kids climb things, they break things things can fall on them
@@randomaccount64 15 mins is a long time for a 2 year old to be left unattended in a dark room.
@@514YulJag exactly! To be honest even 5 mins is way to long
@@randomaccount64 it wasn't 15 minutes, school signed the child off before it was closing time. They closed early. Family requested footage to find out how long the baby was in there and daycare got a lawyer instead.

@@jessedhc2036 yes the mom was 15 minutes late in the sense of she showed up 15 minutes after they had to close, it's not like she said shed be there half an hour before close and actually showed up 15 minutes before, but they closed anyway, she showed up 15 minutes after they had to close. So what were they meant to do? Lock up and just kick the kid out on to the street? The mother shouldnt have been so late
@@azimmorganam what is heavier
The mom is 15 minutes late, so the daycare can charge her for it with money or something
Or the daycare just locked up a child in a daycare with no lights and possibly no food, because "the mom was late"
Like, the mom was late that was her fault. But accidentally locking up a child for that?
What problem would the daycare have, if they can just have one person to take care of the child while they close?
@@azimmorganam I hope you don’t have children! Life happens and being late WILL HAPPEN! What kind of person DOESN’T have 15minutes?! There’s also fees installed for people that come late.
