What should I do if my 18 month old daughter got a black eye and bruise on her cheek at the baby sitting room in my gym?
Somebody opened the door and it hit her and she fell backwards and started to hysterically cry. I was actually in the room talking to the babysitter when this happened. My daughter walk toward the door because she knew it was time to go and somebody from the other side swung open the person was an instructor of a class there. Of course I did not go to the doctor because its just a bruise but its so heartbreaking to see on an 18 month old. should I notify the manager or do anything else? I do not want to end my membership there but I’m very upset that they did not put a sign or anything on the door to be careful of kids on the other side

You could notify the mangement, but depending on the contract you have, it's not impossible they could terminate your memberbership--it all depends on the terms of the membership agreement. That would be all you could do: there's no legal actyion for a black eye, no statutes that have violated, etc.
