Two Babies Died, Upstairs in a Day Care

Baby deaths unsolved one year later | Mansfield News Journal | mansfieldnewsjournal.com

Two babies died in an Ohio daycare, upstairs, left unattended in a playpen. A ten month old and four month old. Reminds me of the daycares in Washington State my unelected bureaucratic managers allowed to keep their licenses.

A thank you to the Mansfield New Journal for moving forward with this story to push for a full investigation. From their report:

"The thing doing the most damage is the passage of time with no apparent movement or resolution to a year-old case involving the deaths of two babies.We asked the question, and local authorities gave no real answer.As a taxpayer, you can decide if you're satisfied with no resolution from local authorities in such a case.Even if it's to say the case is closed, there is no wrong-doing, whatever. Nothing was said here.Officials involved in this investigation owe it to the public to provide some answers."

I'll contact the Journal and send them the Goetz licensed foster home and unlicensed day care home Manson Family Child Death Review where four babies died in Washington State in 1994 before the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) did anything.

It was the death of those four babies that propelled in 1995 the legislature to strengthen the law to protect your children. Then the unelected bureaucratic managers (off and one) simply would ignore the law passed by your citizen legislature.

I'll report back.
