» Naomi Rockler-Gladen - Biting question

Carla, my toddler has been biten twice at daycare (neither time badly). We got the accident reports, and they didn't tell us who the biter was. Is that standard protocol?

In response to Biting question posted by NaomiRG:

Hi Naomi. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner...I was on a vacation.

I believe that it depends on the biting policy of the particular facility. Some biting policies state something to the effect of: "Confidentiality of all children involved will be maintained". I would ask to see a copy of the biting policy. If knowing the identity of the biter is important to you, check to see if there is something in writing that would restrict you from knowing this information. If there is nothing in the policy that maintains this confidentiality, then you have a right to know.
Personally, if I were a parent I wouldn't need to know WHO bit my child, but I think its important to know if the SAME child was biting my child over and over. At the very least they should be able to reveal that information.
