"  A two-year-old girl was suspended from daycare (we didn&amp;#039;t even know a person could get suspended from daycare!) over the forbidden item she brought with her \u2014 a cheese sandwich. According the Sun Times, the suspension came as a result of the Canada daycare&amp;#039;s strict &amp;quot;no outside food&amp;quot; policy. The institution has the policy because of students with severe allergies. However, the girl&amp;#039;s father, Randy Murray, thinks the punishment doesn&amp;#039;t fit the crime. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m speechless. I wish they had handled it differently. They freaked out. If I got a warning, I&amp;#039;d admit my mistake and move on. But it seems they want to penalize the parents. There&amp;#039;s no logic to it. I&amp;#039;m going to the media because I think people have to speak up when something&amp;#039;s fishy,&amp;quot; he stated. On the one hand, suspending a two-year-old over a cheese sandwich may seem extreme. However, the administrators at Centre de l&amp;#039;Enfant aux 4 Vente are doing everything in their power to keep the children with allergies safe. &amp;quot;We need to ensure their well-being and safety. Most parents are comfortable with our rules because it creates a safe environment for their children,&amp;quot; explained the daycare&amp;#039;s director Deb Ducharme. We get the school&amp;#039;s need for parents to understand the importance of ensuring that their kids don&amp;#039;t bring in potentially life-threatening food, but we also wonder if poor Faith had to be punished as well. Couldn&amp;#039;t the school run checks of its young children to make sure no food was coming in? And if such a strict policy is necessary, perhaps fining the parents instead of taking the kids out of school altogether would be a better way to make sure families are vigilant. What do you think of the daycare&amp;#039;s policy? Do you think the dad overreacted or was the school wrong to suspend a two-year-old? Follow Zoe on Twitter.
