Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Daycare liabilities and food allergies

I am rephrasing the questions I asked yesterday because my intention is not to suit my child's daycare provider, but to find out if there is any law or regulation that would prevent a daycare from serving food containing egg products to children who they know may have food allergies and who their doctor recommended not to be given food containing egg ingrediants until they are 3 years of age.

I know that it seems easy to just transfer daycares, and that was also the first suggestion I made, but is harder than changing doctors. My older son was on the waiting list for 3 years until he was admitted, and meanwhile he attended a daycare where by age 2 he had learned how to give straight punches to the face and did not think twice before fighting older boys. My wife witnessed it through the door's glass window when she heard one of the providers telling my son ''hit him, hit him'' when another kid took his toy, instead of tell him to get a lawyer to help him solve this conflits or to find a better way.

''alert and proactive parents remain their child's best, first, and in some cases, only line of defense...Any school setting that is not safe for every child is not a proper learning environment for any child,'' www.connectforkids.org
