THE STATE AS MOTHER
or FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE,
afwuf.org, 6-Apr-06

...even
in the best daycares, (the child is with) dozens of other toddlers, exposing
him to countless bacterial and viral infections. Rates of Acute Otitis Media
AOM or severe ear infection have nearly doubled since the 1970’s. Jerome O
Klein, editor of Pediatric Annals attributes this increase largely to
daycare. “Attendance in group child daycare is one of the most important
risk factors for otitis media.” he says, adding, “The more children in the
daycare group, the more exposure to respiratory pathogens and the higher the
rate of respiratory tract infections including AOM.” Compared with children
cared for at home, children in daycare centres suffered 50% more infections
during a one month period and were almost 5 times as likely to be
hospitalized, than kids cared for in other settings.

Children in daycare develop what has
been called the “Lord of the Flies” *syndrome
after the well known novel about the behaviour of children stranded on an
island. Kids in daycare bond with other kids rather than with their parents
or other adults. Increased aggression, defiance and disobedience are the
result. This has been well researched.

Flies = 1954 novel by William Golding about a shipwrecked band of civilized
young children who become savages

Sympathetic MP’s tell us that they have
never had even one ordinary Canadian woman ask for a fully funded government
daycare program. This idea is not coming from grassroots Canadians. The
pressure has largely come from the civil service unions who see this as a
way of increasing wages for daycare workers and increasing their own
membership and influence, from day care operators who see government tax
money as more reliable than having to do their own collections and from
radical feminists, particularly in the Liberal caucus, who see this as a way
to liberate even more women from the drudgery of home and children.

The government can never replace Mom
and Dad and has no business meddling in the parental right to
determine who will look after children. Neither should the state promote
and finance one childcare choice over any other. This obviously has nothing
to do with what’s in the best interest of children. It is an ideologically
driven plan to control Canadian families, literally from the cradle.

Day Care
Settings Are a Significant Source of Indoor Allergens
sciencedaily.com, 6-Jun-05 |
Researchers studying day care facilities
in the South have found the facilities to be a significant source for indoor
allergen levels. A new study...found detectable levels of seven common
allergens from fungus, cats, cockroaches, dogs, dust mites, and
mice in each
facility tested...
Exposure to indoor allergens has been shown in previous studies to increase
the likelihood of developing asthma or allergic diseases, especially
in vulnerable children.
Both licensed family day care homes and child care centers are represented
in the study.

Day Care vs.
Breastfeeding
The Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society, 11-Oct-05 |
Placing young children in day care
exposes them to sharply increased risk of infection...
This new study* does show that breast-feeding helps to mitigate the bad
health outcomes of day care, but only as relatively small percentage of the
young children who end up in day-care centers receive even this partial
protection. In our mixed-up contemporary world, the lucky children are the
ones born into less affluent families where they are cared for and
breast-fed at home and not into the wealthier families where their careerist
mothers drop them off at the sources of contagion we call day-care centers.

frequency of antibiotic treatments from 1.5 to 5 years: a population-based
longitudinal study in Canada," Social Science & Medicine 60 [2005]
