Mother Reacts to Daughter Soiling Herself over Reported School Bathroom Ban
A concerned parent has raised alarm after her preschool-aged daughter reportedly soiled herself at school, allegedly due to a warning issued during a school assembly that discouraged children from defecating at school.
The incident, shared by the parent on TikTok under the username #alagatosmart, drew public attention. In the video, the mother explained that her daughter, a preschooler, misunderstood an instruction given during the assembly, interpreting it as a strict rule against using the toilet at school. The child, feeling pressed but not knowing how to seek permission, ended up soiling herself.
In the video, the mother explained, “My children told me that you told them during the assembly not to poo in school, and as a preschooler, that is what she understands. When she felt pressed, she couldn’t approach the teacher to ask to use the toilet.”
The video also included an audio recording of the headmistress’s response. Initially, the school official appeared dismissive, mentioning that she was busy with school exams. She referenced a previous message on a school platform where she had discussed the challenges with the school’s cleaning staff and encouraged parents to toilet-train their children.
The headmistress acknowledged the issue of the lack of cleaning staff, attributing it to broader national challenges, and expressed shock that the child had soiled herself early in the morning, before 9:00 a.m.
The conversation highlights the miscommunication between the school and parents regarding children’s needs, as well as the importance of clear, compassionate guidelines for young children in a school setting.
