Reviews
The children often go on walks when the weather is nice. When he began to cry on the walk back, instead of investigating what the problem was and discovering a messy diaper, he was made to walk back and keep crying. When we found the red blisters, we were appalled and confronted them the following morning. Why didn't you investigate and change him. Why didn't you have diapers with you on a long walk. Why couldn't someone come get him instead of being made to walk back. 3 questions you should NOT have to bring up to the people caring for your child.
