Baby Burned By Drano in Diaper at Day Care
In McKees Rocks, PN a 7-month-old-girl was badly burned by a chemical soaked diaper while she was being cared for at a day care on Tuesday January 3rd. The manager of Butterfly Garden early Learning Center claims that the worker at the daycare was unaware the diaper was soaked in any chemicals and is unsure how the chemicals came into contact with the diapers.
The attorney representing the family has stated that the mother of the child supplies the diapers for the day care and that the other diapers in the bag were soaked in the chemical Drano as well. The baby is currently being treated in a Pittsburgh hospital and will be getting multiple skin grafts and is on numerous antibiotics. The Department of Public Welfare is currently investigating the matter. No charges have been filed yet and the Butterfly Garden Early Learning Center has cooperated with officials and taken precautions to ensure that the incident does not happen to anyone else.
No parent ever wants to see his or her child go through such a devastating injury. Childcare providers should be taking all the safety precautions in order to ensure that such a traumatic accident does not occur. Parents trust that their childcare providers are giving their children a safe and happy environment. When their safety is compromised, then those parties responsible should be held accountable for their actions. If your child was seriously injured at a daycare then pursuing compensation for your child’s injuries is important for their well being and security.
