Hey everyone,
I hope you can help me (and possibly help reassure my CNA!)
One of my CNAs, "Jane", has a four year old daughter "Mary" who is just the light of her life. She's a single mom, and she works extra shifts each week just to be able to provide for her child. Anyway, she had taken Mary to a local park yesterday to play on the playground and walk through the nature trail. Jane was sitting on a bench watching the children when she noticed that Mary was standing by herself out at the edge of where the playground sand meets the grass and facing away from her. She went over to see what Mary was doing, and to her horror when Mary faced her she saw that Mary had a used condom in her mouth, blowing it up thinking it was a balloon someone had left on the ground!!! She grabbed it away from her and made her rinse her little mouth out with bottled water, and she has made an appointment with a local pediatrician but they can't see her until Monday. She is understandably distraught and sickened, and has asked me through tears what her baby girl could have gotten. What would your opinions be? What should I tell her? She just left my office.
Can you believe that some creep would do such a thing- leave that filthy trash laying around a PLAYGROUND?!?!?!?! :angryfire
