A Father’s Heartbreaking Experience: A Cautionary Tale About Parental Leave and Childcare

He tells us, still moved: “It was a zoning crèche. I worked in a box next door.

That morning, I was not supposed to go to work. I was thinking of taking parental leave. But there was an emergency, so I went to work in the morning. Sometimes it was me who dropped him off, sometimes it was my wife. But that day, as I was close to the crèche, it was I who dropped him off. So, we were a little out of habit, out of routine.

It happened to me, sometimes, already – and this is perhaps a signal that I should have taken into account – when I arrived in the neighborhood, to turn right, towards my job, rather than going straight straight to daycare when I dropped him off. But right away I was like ‘bad reflex’, I turned around and went to the nursery. I realized it immediately.

He continues his story, precise, as if it were yesterday: “That day, I shot, there was something unusual that actually occupied my mind, and then one thing leading to another, I parked. He slept with his back to the road, the mirror that we had installed and which allowed him to be seen had fallen, and I got out. I was only going there for half a day, to solve a small problem at work…
