Mum reveals toddler came home with ‘blood in his hair’ from nursery where boy, 1, died as six arrested
A MUM of a toddler at a nursery where a one-year-old boy died said her son once came home with "blood in his hair".
Neelam Amgad, 33, was walking her four-year-old home from his morning visit when she found the wound.
The incident happened in November, a month before emergency services raced to Fairytales Day Nursery in Dudley, West Mids., following the death of a child.
Six people were arrested following the December 9 horror.
Mrs Amgad told The Sun Online that when she picked young Abdulrehman up he seemed unhappy, despite staff insisting there was nothing to worry about.
After finding his bloodied head, the mum added: "I went back to the nursery to ask what had happened.

"They told me that they did not think it had happened during the three hours he had been with them but I knew that it had.
"They said it must have happened at home. I was so worried I called an ambulance and they checked him over."
But to her horror, when she took her lad back in the next day a manager admitted the accident had in fact happened on their watch.
She demanded to see CCTV of the incident, but they only showed her "two seconds" of the moment Abdulrehman hit his head on a table.

Mrs Amgad added: "I wanted to see what happened next, if he was crying, what they did, but they would not let me look.
"They said that they could not show me the staff or any of the other children."
The nursery, which the mum claims is "not a well run place" and does not adequately cater for Abdulrehman's autism, then allegedly tried to make her sign an accident report.
But she refused unless she knew exactly how staff at the nursery, which costed one parent £2-300-a-month for 15 hours a week, responded to his fall.
Mrs Amgad added: "Every day I see the children look a bit scared and not happy. They leave them with dirty faces".
The mum did not send her son into the nursery the day a boy tragically died but was "shocked" when she saw police and ambulances swarming the building.
Another 26-year-old mother of two, who lives within 100 yards of the nursery, said she too had concerns about the place and had pulled both her children out.
Another 26-year-old mother of two said she also had concerns about the nursery, which closed on December 14, and had pulled both her kids out.
She told how her eldest would come home hungry "everyday" and "often they had not changed his nappy".
Her second son was two when he went to Fairytales, but during his time there, the mum said: "He changed, became less verbal and now he has been diagnosed with autism."
Three women aged 20, 23 and 50 were arrested last month on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter following the boy's death.
They have since been released on bail while police enquiries continue.
