No way at all would I put a child to bed with something around their neck!!! If parents want to do that and take the risk with their own child that's their decision. When kids are in my day home that means I am responsible for their care and well being and I choose to remove necklaces around their necks in the interest of their well being. I even take hair clips out of the hair of young toddlers if they still mouth things. That is way too risky for me and I am liable if something were to happen. I would not take the chance.
