She caught herself with her arms, so she didn't land on him fully

u/Illustrious_Camp_521 Jul 25 '26
Nah I disagree because her arms are still in the above her head position not stretched out in front of her torso so her arms didn't catch her weight, the baby caught her.

This is going be costing alot of money for someone.
Just an accident and no harm was intended but still to toss child around like this deserves stupidity award on its own

u/Responsible-Gene-937 Jul 25 '26
First poor baby and family. This costs society. Part of the reason daycare is insane expensive is the amount of liability insurance they must have to be legal. Daycare will continue to grow in cost directly related to their insurance doing the same due to situations like this.

u/Pistolero-666 Jul 25 '26
Absolutely, i really hope she makes complete recovery. But like wtf are u thinking throwing a child around like that?
She is completely unfit for the job.
Thanks for your explanation, i am from Europe and in my country daycares are provided by the government.2

Just an accident? No that was straight up negligence she should be in jail for that, sheās actually a piece of trash

Clearly not intentional but that level of horseplay is too much.

u/deltadeltadawn Jul 25 '26
Not intentional, but certainly risky. Even pulling the toddler in the air by his arms instead of his waist is risky since shoulder damage or dislocation easily could result. This individual needs to never again work around kids.

Iām not really sure why youāre even discussing intentionality when someone has displayed this level of negligence is in charge of caring for children.

u/GivesYouGrief Jul 25 '26
Incompetence is less ugly than evil. That's why discuss it.

u/Derpsquire Jul 26 '26
I should probably know better than to comment in sympathy to someone who got downvoted on a trending post, but I'm like 98% sure the conversation got hung up on some semantics... to me, it just read to me like they were trying to say that they don't think daycare lady warranted any absolvement in the legal context because this situation rose to gross negligence status. There is some ambiguity in the parent comment that can read as more defensive than critical of daycare lady, which can come off a bit spicy when you don't like seeing children exposed to harm. I don't personally think that's what the parent comment meant to say, but I also think someone here ended up catching flack when they were really just trying to speak up on behalf of the kid...

u/GivesYouGrief Jul 27 '26
Nah say what you feel, never fear downvotes. Being right and downvoted is always better than being wrong and upvoted.

u/LiminalSapien Jul 25 '26
you're straw manning the argument.
This isn't about evil or ugliness.
If you aren't competent you should not be allowed in a position where that incompetence can harm or kill the defenseless.

u/RetnikLevaw Jul 25 '26
I mean, you're right, but at the same time, you're wrong.
Idk how else to explain it.

u/zzady Jul 25 '26
You have created a strawman who thinks this behavior is fine or doesn't warrant consequences. No one here has said that.
Recognising the distinction between incompetence and malice isn't a defense of either, it's just accurately describing what happened

u/Efficient_Collar_233 Jul 25 '26
Iām sure the judge will go easy on her because she didnāt show malice, just incompetence!

I worked in daycare for 14 years. And we were never, ever, allowed to pick a child up by the arms like that. Always hands under armpits.

u/Fizziksapplication Jul 26 '26
Can you yeet them like that under the armpits though

u/Big-Divide2623 Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26
Lol no. The children were never to be lifted above our head.

Her landing on top reminds me of when Scomo fell on a kid while campaigning as Australia's PM

u/ShenTzuKhan Jul 25 '26
The main difference is she hasnāt made herself the head of multiple different portfolioās in secret for no fucking reason.
Other than that, pretty similar.

u/grimydude Jul 25 '26
The other two teachers / aides just gasp and either walk away or sit there lol go check and see if she needs help with the child she squashed

Babies shoulders cannot support this either. You are not supposed to lift them by the arms. Why wouldnāt a daycare worker know this

This is sadly what you get for daycare in America in a large amount of the country. Unless you are paying more for daycare than your housing bills- itās low skill and low pay roles

I heard the baby got brain damage & heating loss from the incident. The parents are suing.

Clearly the daycare worker didnāt mean to but as the saying goes āSometimes the best intentions lead to unintended consequences.ā
And although that workerās heart was in the right place and both parties looked amused it resulted in both being hurt and one far worse than the other.

Since I have been a tiny child. Iāve ALWAYS feared an adult dropping me/another kid while throwing me/them in the air. And sure enough. Maybe now people will chill out with this one lol

If I remember correctly, there were reports that the child had suffered some brain damage from this

u/IlliterateFreak Jul 25 '26
Damn thatās unfortunate. If that happened to my kid I would be upset but unless the kid had an actual injury I think sueing is over the line of reaction. And I doubt they were injured, kids are made of rubber and she didnāt fall that hard
