Whitby woman seeks daycare program protecting kids from heat-related deaths Via reporterkevin
Alicia Wilson spearheaded the petition for a policy she calls a Safe Arrivals programs, where a daycare would be obligated to call parents if a child didn’t show up as planned.
This proposed policy and petition comes after 23-month-old Everett Smith died in a hot car in Bancroft last month.The intent was for the mother to drop Everett off a daycare before going to work. “Recently, this horrible situation took the life of Everett Smith. While I didn’t know this young boy, my heart goes out to him and his family and I’m so sorry for their loss. We need a change to help protect our children and families.”tap here to see other videos from our teamIf the daycares or child care centres were to call an absenteeism, it would alert the parents that something is wrong.
