This is disgusting!!!
Daycare workers caught on camera abusing a 2 year old toddler. <--
No one should be trying to force a mask on to anyone, certainly not on a 2 year old toddler.

Low level of oxygen <-- in adult from wearing a mask in just a few seconds.
High levels of CO2 <-- in 11 year old child from wearing different masks in just a few seconds.
Testing of other types of masks, including high levels of carbon dioxide under face shields at 9:17. <--

It's not disgusting. I know it must be hard to keep a mask on a two year old, but if that is the requirement to keep him and other children safe from being infected with a deadly virus, then that's what they have to do. I think the mother should have worked with the child and gotten him used to wearing the mask, the poor daycare workers have enough on their plate than to deal this.

That is hardly abuse, can't believe the exaggerations from the anti-mask people. They could call the mother to get the child, but that was just a couple of minutes in time. I wonder if the child complied and was calm a half hour later, you wouldn't see that video now, would you? Not surprised it was passed around by anti-maskers on a social media platform like facebook, lol. If that is a heartbreaking video, these fools need a reality check. :rolleyes:

If the mother can't introduce wearing a mask to her child, then she shouldn't have him in a daycare facility. Take care of him herself or get a relative or friend.

My mom--a retired nurse anesthetist--has been trying to spread the word from the beginning that small children are more susceptible to CO2 build up due to body size. Research has shown that CO2 risk lessens around age two, but I cannot imagine consistent compliance with mask wearing ...attention spans at that age are just not developed enough for consistent compliance with anything. The woman in the video was very positive in trying to get the child to keep the mask on but was unsuccessful. I wonder if face shields that didn't press tightly against the mouth and nose might work better at that age.

He's 2 yrs old...it was irritating. If a woman says NO and someone continue to force the issue is it abuse??????

I don't think it's right because as I said above, a two year old is not old enough to do much of anything consistently, especially if it's irritating and masks certainly are. As for the worker, she is trying to adhere to the laws of her state and doesn't have a choice but to do so. I think a mask mandate for two year olds is unreasonable and face shields should be an acceptable alternative. They could be made fun with spaceman antennas, floppy ears, tiaras...

Yes, we need to protect children and a mask for children must be carefully handled. It takes a long time to train a child to something so new. It is not the day worker’s job. She should not have done what she did, trying to force the child, she should get the parent to the center. A better and kinder way is always the answer, like this:

I was just about to post that video, thanks for putting it up Shero. The mother knew her child would be in daycare, and in my opinion, it was her obligation to get the child used to wearing a mask. That is not the job of the daycare workers, they have their own jobs to do.

Depends on how we look at it. Your apple and oranges may look different than mine.. just as well as the 2 year old. There is no way I would allow anyone to put a mask on my 2 year old. Thankfully my babies are grown. Are they going to start masking infants??? Mask can cause breathing issues.

Then you have to keep your kid out of daycare if that's the health rule during a pandemic, simple as that.

If I did, I would rethink putting them in a public daycare center until this pandemic was behind us.

Agreed. There's no way to contain contagion in a building full of toddlers. They cannot understand the concept of infection control and do not have the attention spans to adhere to safe practices for very long even with appropriate encouragement and prompting. Depending on a parent's commute time, a child may be at daycare for nine hours. It only takes a few seconds to transmit a virus.

Yes, Seabreeze, it is amazing how children learn through games. When our boys were little for eg, and did not want to clean their teeth, we had the Mr .Toothbrush game :ROFLMAO:

Children at daycare in Sydney are not required to wear masks but they are required to wear a hat and sunscreen when playing outside. Sun safe policy is a requirement for the licence.

Two year olds have minds of their own and can be obstinate. I doubt that this little boy will be scarred for life by this encounter.

Two year olds can get Covid. I personally know of one little one who did. She was infected by her grandparents, who also infected her mother. The child was not very sick but her mother and grandfather were hospitalised with breathing difficulties. Infected children can infect other children as well as members of their own family and they can infect the day care staff.

What happens when the staff get sick and have to stay home (or are hospitalised), not randomly one at a time but all at the same time? The centre must close for deep cleaning and possibly for at least 2 - 3 weeks until the staff are fit to resume their duties. One little one with symptomless Covid could cause all of the above. Parents would be very unhappy if that were to happen.

Hands up anyone who thinks the staff should be regularly swabbing the kiddie's nostrils to keep everyone safe? Now that would indeed be traumatising for everyone.
