My heart goes out to those parents; my son did attend this CDC as an infant. There should be more parent and director communication if you have any concerns. The only issue I had was with Ms. @...., she has back issues and would wear a back support waistband into work and could not get on the floor with the infants. I asked the administrator (Before the Army took over) why she was working with infants if she could not sit on the floor to interact with the babies. Mind you this woman forgot to feed my child a bottle once, and wondered why my son was so fussy.

Some of the woman that work at this facility are great woman who have a genuine interest in the children, but you have woman like Ms. @.... who get too comfortable, and who need to move on to another career.

And that cook who they are talking about, SHE is an amazing upbeat woman—That is, if it’s the one that I remember, from 5 years ago.

I hope this doesn't turn into another case of investigation for months or years and then nothing is ever done. he military always seems to feel they can play by a different set of rules. A child is dead and someone needs to be held accountable.

I am the director of a childcare center and have worked with children for over 20 years. I am so heartbroken for this family. People need to have some common sense when working with young children, especially infants! We do tummy time here, but we never leave the children unsupervised. Infants need tummy time but with close supervision and interaction. Praying for this family!

What a tragedy.Complete incompetence. I hope Vera Grant is charged criminally.

no infant should get "Tummy time" without supervision PERIOD they do not have the muscle struture to turn over if needed.

This is child abuse, pure and simple!

I think there should be something done to the person(s) that were taking care of this child and the other children. And Serious fines to the daycare. So sorry for your loss

How sad for the parents. I made a tuff choice when my kids were babies to stay at home but some people really can't do that. I think it takes the whole family this day and time to care for the our sweet little babies. I also chose to help with my grandkids and great nieces and nephews. I hope they can find closure in all this.

In 1992, after reviewing British and Australian research on SIDS, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that parents put babies to bed exclusively on their backs in their first year.

At the time, 70 percent of infants in the United States were sleeping on their stomachs.

By 2002, that figure had plummeted to 11.3 percent.

Over the same decade, deaths from SIDS fell by half, to 0.57 deaths per 1,000 live births in

2002, the most recent year for which figures are available, from 1.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1992, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

Parents--don't let the day care put your young baby on his stomach to sleep. It's too dangerous.

"First 2 years, I believe parents should be allowed to be with their kids."

They are. Have you heard differently? Oh, wait, you want me to hand money to strangers for having babies they can't afford. No.

"I am glad that I chose to leave my career and stay home and be a wife and mom. What is 18years out of a lifetime? I have no regrets...my children are the best investment of my time and resources. We chose to live without health insurance and many times just one mode of transportation as well as minimum meals out, etc. Never used government services, paid our bills and raised well educated children who give back to society. I called myself June Cleaver of the 90's... wasn't popular amongst many but not ashamed. atozca"

Pride goes before the fall.
