A US mum was “speechless” when she picked her 17-month-old daughter up from childcare last week and found her feet tightly bound with masking tape in an apparent effort to keep her shoes on her feet.
The tape left the little girl’s ankles swollen, with red marks and bruises.
In a Facebook post, Jessica Hayes said she was “upset” because “someone was clearly upset that she was learning take her shoes off and [has] done it out of being aggravated”.
The North Carolina mum said as soon as she saw the toddler’s feet she reported it to the director of Pleasant Hill Daycare, who was “just as speechless as I was”.

I think it's an absolute disgrace. Shoes size aside, what moron thinks taping a babies shoes, as tight as they were, around her little legs is a good idea? It looks painful and considering she ended up all swollen with bruised ankles suggests she wouldve been very uncomfortable.
I honestly can't begin to understand why some Mums feel it's ok to go full attack mode on other Mums for the most minute shit like this when there such deplorable other women who dare call themselves Mums and don't care at all about their kids, where are the Facebook groups then?
Those parents should be grateful that the mother spoke up. How hard it is to put a child's shoes on when the parent arrived to pick them up. Not hard at all!
