A MUM was left horrified after finding her 15-month-old daughter covered in blistering red bite marks after collecting her from nursery in Arizona, US.
Alice Bryant said she was sceptical of whether the 25 marks on her daughter’s back were really from bites — but to her horror, they were.
She shared the images on her Facebook page, explaining they happened within five days of her 15-month-old starting nursery.
Bryant filed a police report for negligence and notified the Department of Health, which handles daycare accreditation, but said, after two months, the incident was still under investigation.
She said: “No word and neither department contacted me with updates, and I signed up for victim notification.
“All of these bites happened in one day. Please share!”
According to Live5News, the Tucson Police Department said officers took an initial report and the Crime Scene Unit took photos on February 26, the day the incident happened.
It’s stomach-turning. It feels both angry and sad at the same time
Alice Bryant, mum
She told Live5News: “At first, I was like ‘are those really bite marks?’ And then, my brain kinda stopped thinking and I started crying.
“There’s over 25 plus, it’s hard to tell. Twenty-five would be the minimum that the police officer and I discussed. It’s stomach-turning. It feels both angry and sad at the same time.”
Police say no charges or arrests have been made as of yet, reported news.com.au.
Bryant, who is demanding answers on how the alleged bit marks happened, worries if no action is taken, the same thing could happen to someone else’s child.

She told Live5News: “The fact that nobody intervened in how many minutes, maybe they were left alone, maybe they just disregarded the cries, I don’t know.
“But it takes some time to do that kind of biting, and my daughter would have been very upset.”
Bryant’s Facebook post has received more than 9000 reactions and over 10,000 comments from concerned people.
