Basically it says they were swaddling kids 7-12 months and tying the swaddles in knots and then putting blankets over their faces...

How sad

ETA: no babies died, but it's still sad

Ugggg I'm sick from this. Poor poor babies

Am I reading this wrong? I don't see that it says any babies died or that they are being charged for murder?
It's beyond disgusting regardless...

Hmmm my sister was telling me about it and sent me the link and tbh I was distracted when I was reading it but she had said they died... Sorry! I am going to re-read!

ETA: shit! I suck at reading apparently! Sorry.. Going to edit OP!

I'm going to throw up. Stories like this make me never ever want to put my kid into daycare. I know it's not the norm but jesus christ...

I'm just relieved they were caught in time! But it's still a nightmare.

They are both pregnant. I hope that having their own children will make them realize how atrocious their behaviour is.

Wait, one sister already got in trouble and shut down for this once before?
I am pretty sure in my state, swaddling is not allowed in a daycare center at all.

@fooozle my daycare isn't allowed to swaddle. I had to get a note from the Pedi to allow DD to be swaddled with a swaddle me.

This is so sad. At my center we weren't even allowed to have blankets in the cribs.

Im looking for daycare rightnow for Juju, this makes me just want to give up.

Also their names are middle eastern...arabs swaddle super tightly for quite a few months...but the blanket on their heads is just....wrong.
