A mother has spoken of her horror at discovering that her baby daughter was found with a mouse in her mouth while playing at a daycare centre. Eight-month-old Alanah Barba has now been removed from the preschool in Newark, New Jersey where her relatives believe she should have been more closely supervised. ‘She could have swallowed it,’ said her mother Brittany Barba. ‘And – God forbid for saying it – she could have died.’ Alanah was apparently discovered by preschool assistants playing with what they thought was a toy – but they quickly realised it was in fact a mouse. Her family say they believe the mouse was dead when Alanah found it. Preschool assistants used water and soap to wash her hands and mouth, but Alanah’s relatives say she should have been taken to ER.
