The daycare did not do anything illegal believe it or not.
I don't know enough about the law to address that. I only know that if someone asks that people not take pictures or videos of their child, their wishes should be respected.
Her classmates didn't have the same over-the-top reaction.
It is a normal reaction. Children become afraid of many, many things. There is no prediction of how a child will react.
I worked at NAEYC (The National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited centers with appropriate experiences for children. Example:
NAEYC-Accredited programs must: (among other criteria)
Promote positive relationships for all children and adults to encourage each child’s sense of individual worth.
Implement a curriculum that fosters all areas of child development: cognitive, emotional, language, physical, and social.
Use developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate and effective teaching approaches
This was NOT a positive experience for this child! As for culturally appropriate? If this child is of another culture, she may not have been exposed to Easter and the Easter bunny. It is no surprise the little girl was afraid.
Already stated but true! It is surprising the daycare didn't follow the procedure set in place. WHAT were they thinking?
If you don't have children, you wouldn't know this.
Yes, kids get over things. And you don't have to be a parent to know this. Still, That is not the point. The point is the parents' wishes AND written instructions were not followed.

You?
Yes, I have experience in NAEYC accredited center. The Easter Bunny is not an appropriate experience for young children who may or may not celebrate Easter. YES it matters. See my other post.

Wouldn't benefit granny to say so....
Not relevant. The form was filled out. No need to call her Granny... being respectful is important.

The reality is not for you or me or others on this board to decide. The parents and the daycare must investigate and decide what is right and wrong.

Never said differently.
Yeah! We agree. Phew. Let go and let them sort it out.
Sure wish this would be the conclusion of the debate! We could all agree to disagree where needed.
The family is entitled whatever it is that would make this not happen again at the school to any other child. Aside form the fact that the school stupidly assumed that a giant funny looking rabbit would not scare the **** out of some toddlers, the family specifically signed a form that states they did not want the child photographed. Just as clowns can appear creepy, even to many adults, this rabbit was equally so. A no brainer.
If what the family said is true about the kid didn't get comforted after being scared, I think that's the worse thing about all this.
well, I understand why her parents were upset. But, as long as a photographer uses the images for editorial purposes, and if he or she took them while your child was in a public setting, the photographs are generally within the law even if you do not give your consent.
So I don't believe the daycare center was wrong here.
Unfortunate incident, but I doubt the family is really entitled to any money.
In term of her behavior? well, I guess every baby girl is different, so I cannot really comment on it. When I was a baby, my parents said I was afraid of nothing. I had to take their words for it, I guess.
Which part of no photography in the permission form are you not understanding? And on what planet is the daycare a public setting? It is private property, not public. The general public does not have access to the room that child was in. There is an expectation of privacy here, especially when the daycare asked if photography was OK and was told no. No photography means no photography.

It looks like you need to calm down first.
I said, I understand WHY the parents were upset.
However, it is not as simple as you think it is.
The daycare center did not do anything ILLEGAL, that would be my GUESS
Why don't you ask a lawyer about it. Arguing with ME and getting all emotional with ME is not the answer.
