It isn’t protocol for the hospitals to give the shot for a bat in the room. Probably would have gone to the hospital and been turned away.

Or they would have gone to the hospital and had the Doctor find the bite/scratch that led to the rabies infection.

And it’s easy after the fact to say oh should have done this. As they say hindsight is 20/20.

Would you be saying this if the child was left in a hot car? Unattended in the bath? Found unsecured chemicals under the sink?

As I said, ignorance is no excuse for a dead child.

Yeah, the takeaway from this is, "We need some public service announcements about bats," and "The healthcare protocol needs to be updated so that a shot is given if a bat is found in a room where someone was asleep or otherwise may have been bitten without being conscious of it," not "These are bad parents."
