Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I agree - people aren't completely educated on the topic or they are merely putting a band-aid on part of it. The child in question, in my mind, shouldn't be allowed on the playground or in the lunch room since the entire school, isn't nut free. But, that would be singling that child out and there could be legal issues - I don't know. I also agree that consistency is an issue. My experience with the stamps and social services is on the MS coast. It has been several years since these women were teachers, daycare workers or working with the health department. My aunt said that in daycare, the caregivers went as far as to put the stamps on the kids' tummies or backs for checking the very next day. The parents were expected to bathe the children nightly or could be accused of negligence (not abuse) by social services. Now, I think a daycare person lifting a child's shirt would be in danger of pedophilia charges. However, here in FL I have heard parents complain about their school age children always receiving stamps on their hands.
