ok, you know how we talk about bad providers and all the stuff that happens in the news, I was just wondering if this would be a neglect case because the parents did this to this child. Also, wouldn't the dr notice something amiss at the yearly check up and why wasn't anything done sooner, is he to blame too.
She will be getting extensive therapy (physical, occupational, music, etc) however there is a waiting list and they can't get in until October I think they said. That would be done at a hospital an hour away from here as it si more equipped to deal with this type of case.

I was thinking the same thing momofnerds....there is no way the parents couldn't see anything wrong with her, I mean she came to me at 12 months old and couldn't sit up from a laying on back position, couldn't crawl, didn't eat/drink anything, couldn't pull up on furniture, couldn't walk, extremely weak muscle tone.........From the first week I was here I could tell there was something wrong and the mom would see the other two children in my care who are the same age as her and they were walking, eating, drinking, crawling, etc but her excuse was that she was a girl and girls are probably different...her brother was an eater, crawler, walker, etc and I couldn't figure out why she couldn't see anything wrong. She would even say that her family doctor told her the little one was just slower to do things and that with time it would come so they would just wait and wait. I tried many times to voice my concerns but they would just brush it off and say in time it will come. Finally she took my advice and got a pediatrician and a dietician referral and they saw her once and then a month later had a follow up with her and that's when she was admitted to hospital.
