Some people should not be around kids

[halfpint]

A HS friend posted that they needed to find a new daycare as their 18 month old had come home with a severe bite one too many times.

Someone responded:

"I'm so sorry that happened to her, I went through this with [my child] always coming home with bite marks all over him that I finally bit the kid that was biting him & it never happened again!!! I realize that you can't bite them but I was pissed & the teachers just walked away from me & I didn't care if they told the mom bc I was waiting for a phone call from her but never got one & that was the last time [my child] came home with a bite mark!!!"

In a subsequent comment, this person said they are currently a daycare teacher.

I can not imagine biting your own toddler, let alone someone else's.

She bit a kid that didn't belong to her? How in the hell did she not get arrested?!

I wish I knew where she worked, I'd totally send them a screen shot of that. I'm not normally that level of busybody, but this is not a person that should be working with children.

I mean I've heard people suggest biting your own kid to get them to stop biting but what the eff to biting another kid!!?!!?!??

Is this person serious? Do you know her? That seems like a bad sense of humor on the internet. (Maybe???)

I don't know her, but it didn't read as a joke to me.

I know a bite is not pleasant but I feel like some people freak out a bit too much about it. (My kid never got bit because she didn't go to daycare) and she used to bite me but stopped quickly.
I think you should report and the teachers should keep an eye out but some people are so enraged.
A FB Moms group post. 'Why won't they tell me the name of the biter? That's not fair!' (Um, why is that information necessary? Are you plannig to bite the other kid, bite their mom or just shame the parents?)
And the number of people going on about how horrible it is and how right she is to need to know that information.

And yes I assume some bites that break the skin repeatedly on small babies are more concerning.
