The Story in Brief
A seven-year-old boy suffered an injury to his upper lip after a daycare staff member allegedly hit him with a plastic bottle at Euro Kids Runwal Forest in Kanjur Marg, Mumbai. Times of India reports that the Vikhroli police have booked the staffer under the Juvenile Justice Act.
According to the police, the child was at the daycare from 3 pm to 8 pm on August 4 while both parents were at work. When his mother arrived to pick him up, staff initially claimed he had fallen while playing. Later at home, the boy told his mother that a staff member had thrown a plastic bottle at him. He was taken to Fortis Hospital for treatment, after which his parents filed a complaint.
The Indian Opinion
Every working parent relies on daycares, so this incident stings. But one case must not tar all centres. The real test is whether Euro Kids and others will now tighten hiring and monitoring. The Juvenile Justice Act booking is serious. How many daycares actually verify staff backgrounds and install CCTV in every room? The answer will show if safety is a priority or just a promise.
