My pre-teen daughter told me she touched blood at the summer camp after I picked her up.
The summer camp had an animal presentation. A man came with wild animals and talked about animal - type of activity.
When kids were allowed to pet the animals, my daughter chose to pet an aligator and touched its tail.Then she noticed she got some blood on her fingers. She let her teacher know, and she was told to go wash hands.
When I went to pick her up, though, no one told me about the incident unitl I heard it from my daughter. I called the camp office to know whose blood it was, no one knew. They said it didn't happen. But my daughter doesn't lie, if she did for what?
It looks like the animal petting continued even after my daughter notified the teacher the animal was bleeding. They said, if she didn't have a cut or open sore she should be fine. But if she did what would they say? AND they even don't know if it was from the animal or from a human. They didn't investigate it nor called me to assure my daughter was ok.
Even my kids know blood or any type of body fluid is bio hazzard and won't touch it even if they don't have cut or open sores on hands.
I'm just surprised to see how this type of thing is handdled in a child care facility.
Quoting bizzeemom2717:
I'm sure she will be ok, I agree with the other 2 pp's and wouldn't make a big deal about it in front of her.
Not really a big deal in my book. I wouldn't make a big deal about it either.
I would be more concerned about an injured animal being petted. Especially something as dangerous as an aligator than I would the blood getting on her.
I'm with the others on this. I honestly do not think I would have thought anything of it other then I hope the gator isn't hurt.
Yeah well the park manager here made my daughter clean up blood that was on the bathroom floor last year and she called me up yelling at me because she said my daughter was fooling around in the bathroom...my daughter said I was using the bathroom and I was in the stall when she came in and she started accusing me of fooling around and she told me to clean up the blood on the floor and Paige told her that it wasn'ther blood and she wasn't cleaning it, Paige was told you either clean it up or papers would be filed. when I spoke to the girl next door I was told the same thing from her. I then called the main office and I was loud and clear (not very happy), at that point there was nothing could do.
