Mother Outraged After Miami Daycare Puts Band-Aid On Injury That Required Stitches 

A 3-year-old child suffered a brutal head injury and an outraged Miami mother faults the daycare facility for not seeking emergency care.

Naomi Ramos dropped off her young daughter Keyyuna Bryant at B&G Daycare and Preschool as usual. When the mother returned back to the facility she found her child with a deep wound on her forehead.

“I got inside of the school and I see that my daughter is gushing blood from the front of her head and all they did was put a bandage across it and when I took it off, you could see my baby’s skull. You could see the bone inside of her skull,” Ramos told CBS 4.

The mother took Bryant to Holtz Children’s Hospital and the little girl had to obtain four stitches. She was able to leave the hospital on Tuesday night.

B&G Daycare and Preschool claimed the 3-year-old was pushed by a little boy and she fell and “hit the floor.”

Ramos was angry with the company for slapping a bandage on the scar. The daycare’s go-to treatment was to “wash and disinfect [the] area.” She expressed that the staff should have notified the hospital for emergency treatment. The facility described Bryant’s wound as a “cut on her forehead” in the accident report.

“My baby’s face. Do you see her face?  She’s going to have a scar forever. My baby not going to look the same,” said Ramos.

The outraged mother posted a photo of her daughter’s injury on Facebook on Thursday evening and it immediately gained 7,900 shares that night. She told the news station she’ll be switching her daughter to a different daycare facility and has hired an attorney.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
