Poor Abby

A not-so-nice friend in Abby's class scratched Abby in the face today. Clawed maybe a better word. She has multiple scratches on both cheeks and near her left eye. I'm not really sure what happened since a teacher did not witness it. They weren't fighting or trying to get each other's toys. Of course they won't let you see the tape since the confidentiality of the culprit. I really don't care who the darn kid is as long as the parents clip his nails tonight.

Its a bit hard to see the scratch near her eye. This was taken the night of. I think it looks even more red the day after.


As for Abby she seems unaffected by it and in good spirits tonight. I gave her ice cream after dinner mostly because I felt so bad for her. Here she is licking every bit of her treat!

I felt a bit callused at the time, ever since going back to work I never really cried having to leave her in daycare. But after a day like today, I feel terrible she had such a bad day. When I got the voicemail from daycare I did just want to cry and go get my little girl. I don't know if it hurts as much for her but seeing the scratches everytime I look at her face is so much worse than the bites on the hands/arms.

Poor little thing - you'll need to add a picture with the post so we can always have something to look back on. She seems like a trooper - she'll retaliate if need be :-) Hang in there!

Hope they found who did it, so it won't happen again in the future. It is hard to see this happen to your own kid.

What is the confidentiality rule? That seems so bogus. It might be for the parents so the "victimized" child's parents won't be calling/fighting with the parents.
It really depends on how the teachers and higher authorities handles situations of discipline and conduct. Abe and I want to know who those parents/guardians are...and give them some nail clippers and Mouth guard...no biting also!
anyways, glad you have a sensible husband to keep you from getting smokin mad like myself here....!
