Adult fingernail marks?

Question

I picked up my little from daycare today and she had these marks on her arm. They were definitely not there when I dropped her off this morning. 
She used to love daycare but the last few weeks she screams all the way there and when I drop her off. 
Do they look like fingernail marks to you? Do they look like they come from an adult or child?

Answer

Definitely investigate what’s going on. If there’s a change in her behavior and she’s coming home with strange marks on her there could be something going on at daycare that’s troubling.
I dealt with this kind of stuff with my almost 2-year-old back when he was between six and 10 months. Our so kept coming home with scratches, cuts, and bruises most of which were not documented on incident reports or were even hidden from us... This caused us to change daycares immediately. We got the teachers, head of the daycare, and the general manager all involved and no one seemed too concerned, we were constantly told that little ones are always getting hurt!
I wrote them a letter, wrote a review, and never took him back. He was with me for 2 days until he could start another daycare and he hasn’t had an incident in over a year 🥰
Good luck, trust your gut and your baby girls emotions!

Answer

Definitely looks more like an adults hand shape. I'm not sure how your daughter is with communication yet, but if you ask her in a simple way "did someone grab you like this?" And show her how could she tell you yes or no? I know it's hard when they don't have the words but that does look worrying, especially if she has a change in behavior about day care. Sorry mama, hope you get to the bottom of it!
