I would be calling the parents and sending her home to have it checked out by a doctor! That does not sound normal! I ahve seen bleeding rashes...but never one that spread down the legs! That sounds like something that could be contagious and I wouldn't take a chance on it!

I will only be with this girl 5 more months at the most so there's really no reason to rock the boat now anyways. I think alot of the problem is also the parenting, they are only having one child so I think they are intentionally trying to keep her a baby baby as long as possible. Alot of their decisions are questionable at best. I changed her diaper today and her diaper rash was so bad it had spread from her bum area all the way up her legs almost to her knees. If my child had a rash that big and painful there is absolutely no way I would ever send her to daycare. I can't imagine how much pain this kid is in. Her rash literally bleeds and her skin is split open. I've seen many rashes and this is the worst by far. I just have to shake my head sometimes. I just don't get it.
