Carelessly Burning a Child With a Cigarette

[ssardinajr]

I told them I didn't know if it was a burn but I thought it was based on what my daughter told me, I did tell them the mother told me it was a cold sore.

Here is an update, I even took my daughter into Planned Parenthood to try to get the swab or even blood test, they do have the test, but wouldnt take her because of her age I even explained the situation and the nurse there told me my doctor should be able to do the test. So I called my doctor and other doctors even, and some have never heard of the test (sad), ones that did say they dont do it on children as young as my daughter. I had one nurse tell me the reason they dont do it on children as young as my daughter is because its very rare a child that young gets cold sores. So I never got the test done, but I look at the ER report and they did put "burn" on there, and the called it a "wound" which as far as I know they wouldnt call a cold sore a wound from the definition. I think that once my daughter talked to the nurse at the ER and told her frankie burned her, they changed their tune on not knowing what it was. I didn't even look at the report until earlier this week, I was just going by what they told me in person they could not tell but that was before they talked to my daughter. Also on the ER report it says follow up with authorities which I didnt see at first, but I did follow up with authorities the next day which was the day after Christmas.

The nurse at the hospital is the one who called CPS.

Here is an even more unpredictable turn, I have nor heard from the mother in 5 days I kept my daughter except one text Monday asking how she was. I got no papers served or mailed to me, and I check the file number on the online webfamily docket system, and there is nothing filed on our case so she hasnt done anything yet I was in family court picking up a petition and clerk asked my name and mothers name and she said she hasn't heard from her either a few days ago. Im going to file for temporary custody at this point.

This is even more confusing. I know I keep harping on about it, but your retelling just makes no tense at all.

Oral herpes is usually caused by HSV-1. The first infection usually occurs between 6 months and 3 years of age. By adulthood, nearly all people (60 - 90%) have been infected with HSV-1.

Testing is so routine at this point it's unfathomable why any healthcare provider wouldn't do the test.

It's hard to believe a clinic said "Oh children don't get cold sores that young".

It's also hard to believe that "they" would say they've never heard of such a test.
