A mum has gone viral on TikTok after revealing she used to work in a daycare where hugging children is considered ‘abuse’.
Posting under the username @olddavenportfam, the woman revealed she would not put her own daughter in child care as the ‘standards are so low’.
She explained: “Reasons why I refuse to go to work and put my daughter into child care after working in that industry.

“You are not allowed to tickle or give much affection (as in hugs). It’s ‘abuse’.”
She then added: “You’re not allowed to pick what your child eats. They feed them c*** food.
“They don’t allow time for them to be kids. Very strict on ‘playing’.
“Incident reports are not always reported. Lots of confusion.”
She finished the video by saying that she could ‘go on about things’.
The post has been liked by over 20,000 people, but comments have been disabled.

Elsewhere, a childcare chain in Australia has claimed parents need to be ‘asking for consent’ before changing infant’s nappies.
Only About Children run 75 early learning centres across the country and want adults to be ‘respectful’ towards children.
They released a newsletter saying: “If you were a baby, how would you like to have your nappy changed?
“The most significant thing about a nappy change is not the new nappy. It’s the good feelings shared between baby and parent. It’s the relationship.”
They also said: “Ask for your baby’s help, talk them through what you are doing and encourage the use of senses.”
