You did the right thing. You could get some backup help from the CDC or local Health Department. This virus is very contagious & can be deadly to children under 2 years, to children who have chronic lung disease (ie, asthma, BPD), & those that were born prematurely. Please advise your co-workers to practice strict handwashing & be sure to sanitize toys & play areas. Thank you for being a child advocate.

You are right to tell the parents.
She should have her license taken away.

You can call the Health Department. I believe you can do it anonymously. Of course your boss already knows you are reporting it so the anon is prob not needed. If you don't get any help there call the Children's protective service (where abuse is reported) and report what is occurring. GL
