A tragic incident occurred at a daycare center in Sorocaba, Brazil, where a 4-year-old boy had a part of his finger amputated after a severe accident on Friday, the 13th. The child had recently started attending the educational facility earlier in February when he accidentally trapped his finger in a classroom door. The family was informed of the emergency situation shortly after it occurred, with calls indicating that the boy was bleeding heavily and that medical assistance had been requested.

Camila Fortes, the child's mother, received a call from the school at about 3:40 PM stating that her son was experiencing a significant injury. Upon arrival at the scene with emergency medical personnel, she discovered the horrific reality of the situation—part of her child's finger had been torn off. Following the assessment by the medical team, the child was transported to the Hospital Regional de Sorocaba where he underwent medical intervention and was discharged the following day on Saturday.

The family expressed concern over the handling of the injury, particularly questioning why the severed finger fragment was not retrieved and preserved properly by the emergency responders before transport. This incident raises critical discussions regarding safety measures in educational environments and could potentially lead to increased scrutiny and changes in regulations to protect young children in similar settings.
