Listen to your kid!!! Adults will lie through there teeth. It needs to be reported and then an investigation can happen.
Make a police report
You should definitely ask the director or the owner of the day care if there is an incident report written up and if there are cameras, they have to let you look at the footage. I’m 40 and I’ve worked in childcare since I was 17 years old. Anytime any kind of incident occurs, the adult who witnessed what happened has to fill out an incident report immediately. It gets turned into the director and they are who is supposed to call you. Also, I’ve never met a 3-year-old who can make something up like that. 3-year-olds usually stick to their story. If there is an incident report and/or cameras, and there is nothing to hide, they should have already let you sign the incident report and see the footage. If the center does not have an incident report and/or cameras, take it to the police and let them look into it.

It probably isn’t the first time or if it is, it won’t be the last if you don’t report it.
No hell no! You file a report. Take it to the media. File a suit. Like no that’s your baby! You fight for all the medical bills and emotional damage
Does the daycare have video cameras that you can request to view the footage?

I would report… if the police believe her that’s on them … cover your butt and take care of that 3 yr old baby♥️
I have a very defiant 4 year old, and I have to grab him up by the arm ALL the time, and yeah he jerks and jumps and throws himself around like a wild animal, but he has never hurt himself doing so, so they way I look at it knowing my son, a 3 or 4 year old child, I don’t think they have the raw strength to hurt himself in that way, it sounds to me like your child is telling the truth, I believe only an adult would have the strength to do that, so yes, I would follow the ERs instructions

Will they have CCTV of the incident?
Report it. I worked in a daycare and a teacher actually grabbed a 6 yr old by the arm and swung her up a small set of stairs. Dislocated her elbow too. Sometimes teachers snap. She was fired cps and the police were involved. She is no longer allowed to work with children. The only thing that concerns me is your son said “he tried to get away”. Did he just go limp and let himself fall? That would have the same result as the teacher pulling on his arm . If the daycare has cameras ask to see them (the police will ask also).

The teacher knew she did wrong that’s why she called you…no one would normally call if a child fell to the floor having a tantrum. She tried to cover her butt by putting out a “courtesy call.” Definitely report it. If they investigate properly and find it really was an accident, you don’t have to worry about her being fired.
Well, when my son was in pre-school he told me his teacher pushed him. The next day when he was leaving school the teacher patted him on the back towards me because I was waiting to pick him up. Like a bye type of thing.
My son exaggerated. But my son has autism and exaggerates stories sometimes.
The hospital should have made that call.

Report report report before she does that to other innocent kids
Yes you should report her
While things like Nursemaids elbow can be a common injury at that age, I worked in daycare and we explicitly had an entire training section dedicated to learning to avoid things like picking children up by their arm, swinging them when holding their hands and walking, etc.
Children rarely make up stories and it would be one thing if they were playing and it happened but in this scenario it sounds like a teacher was deff too rough!! Deff report it! You must be an advocate to prevent further accidents!!

Report it, your baby ended up getting hurt.
Report the teacher. Maybe it was an accident, but maybe it wasn’t. The next child might not be as lucky as yours.
I feel for your son! It’s a scary thing to happen. We have done it to our daughter several times unintentionally!! First time my husband pulled her elbow out of socket by helping her out of a ball pit at a play centre! I have pulled her elbow whilst dressing her and her pulling away from me, my dad has done it to her by holding her hand and she’s dropped to the ground in tantrum…. She also had it happen a forth time… all had to be put back into place in ER. just saying the Drs told us some kids are prone to it and do eventually grow out of it! Hard situation for you I am sorry!

If the hospital says file a report, then file it, because if it were the other way around, the school would already have filed a report. The hospital would if your child said you did it, so listen to the hospital and file that report. There’s nada to think about or feel torn about.

You should file a police report IMMEDIATELY after you see it on camera. If you can’t see it, call the police either way. A child isn’t going to make that up.
Been there! My son was 3 also, and had started a new daycare. I felt like the teacher was aggressive, in just the few seconds I saw her in the mornings and at pick up time. My son had great vocabulary skills. After being there about a week, we were in the car on the way home, and he told me how she had “grabbed and squeezed real hard and hurt” him. I could see he had a mark on his arm. Without hesitation, I marched into the office the next morning and demanded that something be done or I would be filing a report. She was gone by that afternoon. I was later told that they felt like something was going on. I was livid that they felt that way, but had never acted on it, until a child with great vocabulary skills was able to actually communicate the situation. Your motherly instincts are 
. Do what you have to do.

When my daughter was 3-4 she was holding my moms hand and did the jump and fall to the ground and it pulled her arm out of her socket. It can happen. Maybe the teacher is telling the truth and your sons interpretation is the jump and fall was him trying to get away to play

The daycare should have cameras recording everything that happens all day. All they would have to do is play back the recordings from that day to prove she hurt him.

Always believe your child unless you have a reason not to. I don’t know if any kid that would make that up at 3.

There is a condition called nursemaids elbow. It’s common in kids and their arm can pop out very easily because of it. I’d ask to see video of the event (if they have it). I’d give the hospital report to the daycare so they can train their people better. I’d also look up nursemaids elbow and give that information to the daycare too.
File the report to protect you & yoyr child. Just explain to your child how seious it is to tell the truth.
I’d report it like the hospital has said and hopefully they will back you up if they need to. The daycare should have some form of a written incident/accident report, in fact you should have seen that when you went to collect your child. Like you said why would your child make that up? You know your child better than anyone else.

Cameras. Have them pulled.
You report that shit. That’s your baby.
I worked in daycare before there was cameras. I’d call now.
This definitely needs to be reported to the authorities and the director of the facility and their parent company.
Do not let something like this just slip on by. You dont know what your Bub went through today. They may now develop a fear of that educator and not want to go back there with them. 
Believe your child, report her.

Believe your kiddo. Always go with your gut and I’d say that’s pretty specific for a 3yr old to say. I would file a report
Report, children that age do not know the meaning of lying n if he says it happened there’s a very high chance it did.

Report. They will investigate. Be more concerned that the daycare employee might, and probably will, do this again. Accident or not, your child was hurt by a trusted adult. Actions, accidental or not, have consequences.
I would make a report. The cops will look into it and question her and your child and determine if it was an accident or not. As an inhome daycare provider i know that they should have filled out a incident report and wrote it down in their medical log book which goes into detail of what happened. I would rather be safe than sorry. Who knows if she has been doing it before this or even to other children. There is a reason why we are told not to pick up children by their arms or pull them by their arms. We had to go through something similar when my step daughter 12 nowb was 4/5.
Pulled out of socket sounds like more than an accident. Maybe a mistake for being to rough but that isn’t ok. File the report.

Call the cops, absolutely report it. Always trust your kiddo, a 3 year old has no reason to lie, a grown adult does.
Maybe your son needs to be taught that he can’t pull away from adults that are caring for him and keeping him safe. What if he pulled away from somebody like that in a parking lot or near a road? The injury your son has was caused by him not wanting to cooperate with a caregiver, it was an accident and it’s really common. TEACH YOUR CHILD TO LISTEN/RESPECT ADULTS!!!

To be honest it’s easy for elbows to pop out u til children are around 6/7 yrs old. Just swinging your child between 2 people can pop it out. But start an investigation and if she has nothing to worry about, it’ll be shown
FILE.
THE. REPORT.
It takes some force behind a grip to pull a child’s elbow out of place. My son, who is also 3, throws himself down to the ground a lot when I’m holding his hand and he’s NEVER dislocated his elbow.
The teachers story and your sons story do not add up. Believe your child over the teacher.
File the report, mama. And please don’t send your baby back there.

File that police report! Believe your son!!
Honestly u shouldn’t be concerned about the daycare that is their job to care for your children when u leave them there! I would definitely report it and u should be contacting dcfs in your area to do their own investigation! I had my children in a daycare center for 5 years and had no issues whatsoever! One day I got a call when they had a new teacher & said that my son had injured his finger and he was bleeding so they called a ambulance… I get to the hospital and when they took the bandage off it was literally hanging! Mind u he was only 18months old at the time… to come and find out by dcfs watching the tape the teacher wasn’t watching the children and the door closed on his hand! So coming from experience I would definitely be making that report! And sorry to say but I would be contacting a lawyer as well because your poor son! These people need to be held accountable!! that is their job & they need to be more careful!

Report report report!!!
Jeesh. If I trusted my toddler I’ll be in jail with the stories he tells. Mommy hits me, it was a hand to his bum, more of a scare than an actual slap. They sometimes put things way out there. Isn’t there cameras? I would definitely ask your child 3 different times of what happened. Mostly every time the story will change. If not I’ll go deeper into the situation.
Don’t get me wrong, I would be livid. But I’ll definitely seek answers before accusing.
A child can rip his arm out of socket when suddenly being pulled down(throws himself on the floor) as anybody would, you’d lift him up so he doesn’t fall. I’ve done it soooo many times. Luckily he never got hurt.
Good luck

I love that you’re considering all angles. However, your child’s well-being has to come first. At the very least, I would call the daycare. And I think you can file a police report without pressing charges. This way, this lady will have documentation on her, if any “accidents” happen in the future.

Mom of kiddo with nursemaids elbow here!
I would request an investigation and see cameras. Honestly it could have easily been an accident. My daughter has nursemaids elbow. First time was when she was only 2 months old! She is 13 and it has happened 10 to 15 times since the first. When she was a toddler if she walked down a step before me whole holding hands it would happen. It can happen pretty easily sometimes.

I would ask if there is video. Some children have nurse maid’s elbow and they can pop out of socket easily. I have baby sat for kiddos that have this and if I am holding their hand and they fall or trip and I cannot let go on time, or try to keep them from falling it pops out. She may have taken his hand to redirect or move him away from another child. Look into it for sure.
