Daycare teacher accidentally gives child four tribal marks
The mother brought the matter to a Facebook group where she was asking fellow mothers what she could do for the marks to go.
The mother wrote:
“Mummies in house pls help a worried mother, I registered my baby in one daycare close to my shop. So after closing, I went to pick my child. So on getting there, her teacher started begging me that she mistakenly burnt my baby face with a hot fork. According to her, she said she didn’t know my baby was standing behind her while she was cooking. So this is my baby’s face after the black ones have peeled off. Will the mark go away? What should I apply to make this mark go pls help.”
Some Facebook users have slammed the daycare teacher saying she gave the child the marks deliberately.
