BLF Comments on Daycare Negligence at Doris’s Place in Oregon

A Terrifying Oversight at Doris’s Place Daycare

AUMSVILLE, Oregon – In a harrowing incident that has left parents shocked and outraged, a 2-year-old child was left alone on a daycare bus for three hours at Doris’s Place in Aumsville, Oregon. According to the article by Newsweek, the toddler was discovered only after the driver returned to the bus hours later. This article highlights the serious questions surrounding the accountability of daycare providers. While The Button Law Firm is not currently handling this case, we are deeply concerned about the incident and remain committed to advocating for accountability in daycare negligence.

Incident Breakdown: How Did This Happen?

Based on the article by Newsweek, on the morning of January 27, Cassandra Robinson placed her daughter on the daycare bus, assuming she would be safely transported to Doris’s Place. However, nearly three hours later, the daycare contacted Cassandra to inform her that her child had never made it to class and had instead remained strapped into her car seat on the bus. During this time, the toddler had no access to food, warmth, or comfort. With temperatures dropping to 36 degrees, she was found cold, hungry, and with a soaked diaper. Her parents rushed to the daycare, furious at the negligence displayed by the facility’s staff. The emotional toll on the toddler has been significant, as she now exhibits clinginess and struggles with being separated from her parents.

Investigation and Accountability Concerns

Following the incident, multiple agencies launched investigations into the daycare’s oversight. The parents promptly filed both an internal incident report and a police report, demanding answers for how such a serious lapse could occur. The article by Newsweek reveals that the parents noted that the incident report had not even been created until they arrived at the daycare, highlighting a lack of immediate accountability. With a class of only eight children and four adult attendants, it is incomprehensible how a child could be forgotten for such a long period. This article highlights how several critical safety protocols were overlooked, leading to this preventable incident.
