My daughter was at daycare, they were outside playing which they do daily, we have never had a problem and they have several locations and are highly recomended in the area. The fact that she was stung so many times makes me wonder if anyone was watching her or why after she was stung the 1st time and started screaming no one rushed over to get her and she was then sting several more times. My wife does not want to get the teacher in trouble because she is a nice lady and we both like her but who knows what it would be next time, a large pitbull loose in the play area and bitting her 12 times. I dont know I need some advise, I want to call and get a copy of the formal paper work from the incident and also the paper work that an exterminator was called in to determine where they came from.

Need a little more detail!

Who is "they" and what were the circumstances?
EDIT: You have every right to ask all these questions and ask to see proof that the problem was resolved, just refrain from being hostile when you do so. Don't be concerned with getting the teacher in trouble, the safety of your child and the other children are more important and if she wasn't doing her job, she SHOULD be reprimanded. It may not be a case of neglect, it's possible that the bees were on her before the teacher could reach her or before she could even cry out. When I was 6 or so, I was stung 19 times by yellowjackets, they were on me in less than 10 seconds and kept stinging even though me and the other kids were trying to slap them off. You should speak with the center director about the medical bills.

Where did this happen...at a daycare?
We need more info!
****Oh my goodness...I'm so sorry to hear about all of that! Your main focus should be on making sure that your child is getting good care at the moment. Then you can move on to the daycare. Man, I'd be pissed off it that happened to my daughter...thank goodness your daughter didn't have any allergy to bee stings [just going off of what you said], because that event could've been fatal. Bees sting very quickly, but I think I would notice 12 bees flying around a 1-year old, and I would remove her from the situation. The daycare providers may not have had enough time to reach her. She may have bumped into a nest, or stepped on one...being only a year old, it's not like she could've outrun them. Poor baby. Just get the reports and do what you see fit. Best of luck!

If your child was outside and stung 12 times because he was not being watched as he played near a bee hive then yes its neglect. If your son was stung at random times during the day then it is not neglect. As for medical bills why would they offer to pay unless you can prove they were at fault they really arent responsible for paying. Furthermore if you insist they MUST pay take them to small claims court and next time be more careful who you leave your little kid with.
I am the parent of a 14 month old, 14 yr old. 7 yr old SD and I am raising both my nephews now ages 16&17 and my SD's brother(no relation to either my husband or myself) and I trust NO ONE with them..NO ONE!

Please go back to your question and add some additional details. No person can be directly responsible for the stings of a bee, wasp, or hornet on a child or anyone else. Neglect may be a possibility only if your child was left alone outside and was stung while being unsupervised. Just last week, my own daughter was stung several times by bees while I was standing right next to her, I could not have stopped it. Let us know the circumstances of the situation so we can better help you.

HI, Who is "they". Need more information.

Has it ever occured to you that it wasn't a single bee? If she was swarmed or hit a hornets nest, it's not neglect. It's sheer panic and attempt to get her safe while yourself not being stung too badly to care for the child. It's not as if she was stung once, stood there screaming for 10 minutes and was then stung again, do you get what I mean here?
Ask for a copy of their incident report and go from there. I don't see it as neglect, I see it as they need to have the area scanned for nests and have them removed by a professional for the safety of the children.

12 stings is a bit excessive, I would question every teacher that was on the playground. Let them know your very unhappy, you may end up helping another kid in the future. Definitely get copies of all paperwork, including the exterminators report/remedy.

When my brother and I were younger we were playing in my grandparents yard..nothing new we played there at least 3 times a weeks..all of a sudden he was screaming.
He stepped on a nest of hornet (completely hidden they were under ground) He was stung several times and my grandmother tried helping him and she was stung several times also!
This nest was completely hidden and underground there was no way of telling..
Look into the situation..please..somethings aren't preventable!!!!!
