Every year in the warmer months, we unfortunately tend see at least a couple of incidents like the one described here. Obviously, if someone’s actions (or inaction) contributed to this accident, then they’re going to answer for those actions legally. But beyond that, there has to be consideration not just for what went wrong but also how it can be avoided in the future.

As important as individual accountability is, people want to be sure others won’t suffer a similar fate. If a daycare can’t give people confidence that they’ve resolved the issues that led to a fatal accident, then it’s only reasonable people would no longer trust that daycare with their children. Not only that, but if there were steps the daycare could have taken to prevent this, it’s important to know why they didn’t.
