A Cape Town family has been left without answers after their 8-month-old son died inexplicably after being taken to Vanguard Day Hospital by Linda's Daycare staff in Bonteheuwel.
that their son was ‘sweet’ and always ‘smiling’, and said they couldn’t understand why the owners of the daycare centre were avoiding their repeated inquiries.‘My child died while in the care of the crèche. They have not been forthcoming about what happened to him. We buried my baby over the weekend without knowing what had happened to him,’ she added.
The grieving parents said they both went to work, believing their children were safe with ‘good, caring people.’ Canterbury, who works in Strandfonetin, said he was out making deliveries when he received a call from one of the teachers shortly after 1:30pm, informing him to rush to the hospital. Canterbury returned to the office to inform his boss that he would be unable to complete his work due to a family emergency.
Bronagh Hammond, a spokesperson for the Western Cape Education Department , said the department would launch an investigation and confirmed the crèche was not registered with the WCED. Canterbury said they were shocked to learn that the crèche was not registered with the WCED and that they had all been led to believe that the crèche was a registered institution. The family now wants the crèche to be closed down in order to prevent any further child deaths.
‘Investigations are ongoing into whether the child died unnaturally, and community members should avoid spreading rumours or making assumptions about the incident,’ he said.
