SO upset with my son's daycare.

First let me start out by saying, we've been getting weird vibes but honeslty I thought it was all in my head. But today was the fourth day in a row that my son got hurt, and they have not ONCE told me about it, he tells me himself (He is 3). And I mean like, left a mark kind of hurt. Today I just happened to get there soon after it happened. I walk outside onto the playground, and he is literally laying on the ground in a fetal position crying hysterically! I immediately ran to him and he said, "Mommy please help me!".... I could tell he'd been crying for a while, his face was covered in dirt and tears, and there were scratch marks all across his neck. I look around, and ALL of the teachers from his room are over leaning against the fence not even looking over at my screaming child. I look behind me and the gate is open (to the side of the building) and THREE little kids had escaped into the little side part of the building, the part that is right against the street! There is NO lock on this part of the gate, and the teachers were all texting and laughing on the other side of the playground. I said, "Um excuse me! Do you not see him over here??" and one took her sweet ass time coming over to me, and she started looking for his paper for the day (couldn't find it, of course) and as she's shuffling through them looking for it, a little girl gets attacked by the SAME kid who had just scratched my son, PUSHES her off a toy that was like 3 feet off the ground, she's laying on the ground screaming and this teacher looks up at her, and looks over at the kids escaping the playground, and looks back at us and says, "I think he paper may be inside, let's go look in there.," and stats to walk back inside with me! I told her, "Go check on that little girl! And you have kids escaping the playgound! I don't need his paper!" and we left. The daycare director was on the phone as we walked out, and my son was still hysterical, or else I would have talked to her right then. But I'm SO MAD. I already called his old daycare and they now have a spot available for him so he's starting back there ASAP. I am definitely going to talk to the director of this daycare first thing tomorrow morning, and getting my kid OUT of there.

whoah. I would have seriously lost it

Wow, I'd report them if possible. And try to warn some of the other parents.  

Scary! I would definitely be reporting that daycare and warning other parents

Quoting £egendary Zeppelin:" whoah. I would have seriously lost it"

I feel like i"m still losing it. I feel so horrible because Kieran has been calling it "the scary daycare" lately and I thought he was just trying to trick me into not making him go, but now I feel awful. Does DHS take complaints about daycares? Who can I talk to about this?

Heads would roll!! I'd be so pissed.

Holy smurf id report them and even ask for my money back. Poor kids  

Quoting ℳary ℐane:" Heads would roll!! I'd be so pissed.  "

Seriously, I'm paying them what I owe tomorrow and will have him started at a new daycare by the end of the week. I don't think I'm even going to take him back there. I'm still like shaking with anger.

I have no idea, I would definitely look it up though  

I would have waited for her to get the smurf off the phone or i would have said excuse me but ur teachers are not doing there job's.

I'm going to call DHS tomorrow after I talk to the director (so if her response is smurffy, they know that as well) and see what needs to be done.

Very negligent report them other parents should be aware of these situations think of any little kids that can't tell there parents what's going on . I don't blame you one bit for being so angry I'd be tearing a few new ones

Yea i would never take him back there again..I feel bad for the other kids and the parents that have no clue that stuff like that is going on.

Poor guy!
I can't believe that! I've never had problems with them. He got bit once there and it hardly left a mark but they filled out a report saying what happened.
I can't believe they were just ignoring him

I definitely considered just staying and waiting for her to get off the phone, but I was so livid, and my son was so upset, my priority was getting my baby OUT of there and helping him calm down. My head was spinning I was so angry!!! There's an hourly drop-in daycare we take him to sometimes and I think I'm going to take him there instead for hte rest of the week until we get him set up elsewhere, and definitely going to talk to the director asap.
