      Well, now childcare centres know the price they can factor it into their budget.

      This is sickening, so many failures by so many people to protect that poor little child 🙁 rip in peace Angel. May you find happiness and peace in your next life 🫶🏼

      It’s always the innocent who suffer. Such a short, tragic life. May your next one be better.

      Did the daycare know about the condition of the poor little fella? I would imagine they didn’t otherwise they would likely have not allowed him to be present. Seems like the parents withheld vital information about his condition. There is no way I would send my daughter to daycare with these illnesses.

      From that news article it isn’t clear whether staff or his parents knew he was sick or how sick he was. The QC is quoted as saying it was obvious he was sick, but this makes no sense, people weren’t allowed to attend school/daycare then if sick. Are educators meant to function as nurses and do regular checks on sleeping children?

      Why was he accepted as being sick at the childcare and why didn’t his parents take him to the hospital/drs?

      This is mostly the parents fault but also the centres fault for saying yes to taking the sick child

      $15,000 is a very small fine. It doesn’t sound like the centre was really at fault.

      I worked in the ECE industry for 7 years and it doesn’t make sense to me that nobody knew the kid was sick?? Those kind of illnesses are pretty obvious and the staff would have seen that at drop off and questioned the parent…

      > Mr Harding told the court the company dealt with “very young children” who were part of a “vulnerable group of society” and was aware of its obligations.

      What ‘vulnerable group’ is being referred to here?

      If 15 thousand dollars is the cost of actually murdering a child to a private company then holy crap we are about to set a standard for a very poor level of care

      Kinda funny how the cost of everything from speeding tickets to groceries is skyrocketing, but all the fines for massive corporations keep getting smaller 🤔🤔

      Why the fuck was a kid sick with covid in care?! That’s basically sending a bioweapon into a place with small kids.

      I was a cook in childcare years ago, the manager would bring her kid in sick, it was sad for the little one.

      >an autopsy found the child was suffering from multiple viruses at the time, including COVID-19 and an upper respiratory tract infection.

      >A coroner ruled the boy’s body became “overwhelmed” by the overlapping illnesses, which “proved too much for his respiratory system”.

      Insane that the parents even sent the poor kid to childcare in that state. Surely the centre wouldn’t have let him stay if they were aware of his condition.

      Sure the childcare centre should take some blame for knock adequately monitoring him, but what the fuck were his parents thinking, he never should have even been there.

      I’m sorry but how is this not the fault of the parents for sending their sick child to daycare, despite the 100000 warnings they’re given to not send their children to daycare sick?

      Why the fuck did the parents send their kid to childcare that sick??? This is insane.

      Hoodies are dangerous for babies and toddlers. Risk of suffocation.

      I don’t know why they’re legally for sale.

      Sorry if this is insensitive but… As a parent, why would you send your child to daycare if they had COVID and other illnesses? I can’t imagine this little boy looked in any state to go to childcare. I get its expensive and parents need to work but doesn’t this action put the child AND other kids at risk..?

      Seems like theres a bit of misdirected responsibility here

      Boggles the mind why such a sick child was at a daycare in the first place.

      Also, why wasn’t the child sent home from daycare if it was so ill?

      The parents have to share the bulk of the blame.

      Reminds me a little of the case in Darwin so many years ago. A young girl passed away in her front yard, under the care of a foster parent. The autopsy found over a kilo of puss in her from an untreated injury.
