Winnipeg Daycare Home Closed After Toddler's Hands Injured; In Hospital 2 Weeks

  • Winnipeg Daycare Home Closed After Toddler's Hands Injured; In Hospital 2 Weeks
WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg daycare has been shut down as part of a police investigation.
 
Chris and Julie Phippard brought their 13-month-old daughter to the unlicensed home daycare in St. Vital on Oct. 13.
 
Chris says they got a call saying Chantal needed to be picked up because something happened to her hands.
 
Chantal’s hands and wrists were bright red, inflamed, with the skin in serious distress.
 
Doctors treated her injuries for two weeks as chemical burns and the Phippards say they still don't know what happened to their toddler.
 
Chantal had been going to the daycare for just two weeks when she was hurt.
 
Winnipeg police and Manitoba Child and Family Services are investigating.
 
 
“Sometimes, I feel that I’m kind of numbed by the whole thing, like maybe I haven't had time to fully process it,” said Phippard.
 
For now, Chantal’s parents are off work while their daughter recovers.
 
Her right hand is not wrapped up in bandages anymore and is healing better than the left. Doctors say she may still need skin grafts to help the healing.
 
Family friends started a GoFundMe page to help cover expenses.
