A grandparent who provides childcare to a 4 yr. old is accused of being irresponsible because the child took a pill container out of her pocket unawares and ate one of the pills. All medicines in the home are out of the reach of children.The person has to take medications several times daily. The person knew which pill the child ate.The grandparent had just reminded the child not to get things out of another pocket. Was wearing really loose shorts with baggy pockets and was unaware when the child took the pill container.
Grandparent called 911 and then poison control and took appropriate actions, the child is fine but the parents are irate.
Have been to the person's home and consider it to be child safe. I just think the parents are being over emotional. They both work and the grandparent provides enriched, loving care for free.
