Update

Yesterday afternoon I received a call from the director of the daycare center that's across the street from my house. If you don't remember the original story click here.

She wanted to get some first hand information about the incident I reported. She had already spoken to her staff about it, and had questioned the janitor who also was an eyewitness to the event. After I finished with my version of the story, she told me that her entire staff had lied to her about this. I know, it's hard to believe, people lying to cover their butts. But, it's true and she even seemed a little dismayed by it.

She also told me that this child hasn't been going to that daycare for very long, only about 2 weeks. He doesn't like to leave the play area once he's out there so he hides out in the play houses. Smart kid! I guess they now count the children when they leave to ensure everyone's accounted for.

Yep, it's one thing to make a mistake with your kid but I don't want anyone else making mistakes with them.

No, never heard that version of Margaritaville...who does it?

Thankfully they are counting the children after playtime. What the hell are they thinking? Of course they should take a headcount. That's common sense for most people. Oh well. It is sad commentary on the daycare industry. But here in Texas there is always a news story about a kid left in a car or bus or lost in general. Some parents/adults out there just suck in the common sense department.

It's bad enough when people leave their pets in the car...how can we stop idiots from reproducing?

Thanks Jim! Dorman is very insightful about the goings on over there, I think you'll enjoy his opinion.

IL-I don't even know what I would do walking into a situation like that. I think I'd head straight for the nearest bar!
