The child’s fingers were crushed as he opened a gate in the daycare
HOUSTON – A new warning to parents and educators about a potential safety hazard in schools and daycares.
One Houston parent got a call from her child’s school hearing the words no parent ever wants to hear, “there’s blood everywhere.
”
Rachel Goodlad was 6-months pregnant in March of 2018 with her second child. Her 2-year-old son, Fitz, was attending daycare around the corner.
“They immediately started saying, ‘I’m so sorry but he’s covered in blood, everyone is covered in blood.’ We need you to come to meet us because we’re heading to the hospital.”
As Rachel recalls that traumatic day, she wasn’t even sure how Fitz got injured because it was clear everyone was also unaware of how it happened at that moment.
“When I was opening the gate for my friends, my fingers got stuck in the gate and then they came off,” recalls Fitz Davis. “It bled so much and then I had to go to the ambulance than to the doctor. Then the doctor had to sew my fingers back together.”
Surveillance video from that day was just released and now Rachel and her husband want to share it to show others the dangers that can come along with certain school gates.
In the video, you can see his teacher unlock the gate outside.
That’s when Fitz walks over to the gate to let his friends in. The gate swings open, crushing his fingers in a split second.
“One of the teachers said, ‘We forgot to tell you we put his fingernails in a ziplock bag. They’re in his backpack,’” explained Goodlad.
“They took my husband and me outside and said we need you to prepare that we may not be able to fix this,” recalled Goodlad. “Two different hospitals turned him away because the injury was so severe, they didn’t think they would be able to save his fingers and then said they might not be able to save his hand.”
But they did.
They found someone who was able to reconstruct his hand but his doctors said his fingers won’t be able to grow. Goodlad says they will just have to wait until he grows up to see what damage was truly done and if he will need further reconstructive surgery.
Over the last 4 years, Goodlad and her husband have been traveling to Houston area schools, educating teachers about the dangers of certain gates.
They have also been in communication with the state to see if there is a way to incorporate new gate regulations into the existing childcare facility standards.
“When we were talking to people at the state level, they told us it was the worst hand injury they had seen out of daycare,” said Goodlad. “Our plastic surgeon tells us he sees this happen all the time, multiple times a week from people all over the Houston area.”
They are thankful Fitz has all his fingers intact but are still concerned that this could happen to someone else, as any parent would be.

Biography Whitney Houston
Childhood
On August 9, 1963, in an average American family, which differed from others only in its passion for music, a daughter was born, whom it was decided to call the beautiful name Whitney Elizabeth.
Her mother was Cissy Houston, a vocalist in a quartet called the Drinkards, and the girl’s aunt was the popular singer Dionne Warwick. Therefore, Whitney’s childhood was directly connected with music. Whitney grew up in a harmonious environment, because everything was fine in her family until the moment when Whitney’s parents decided to divorce: her father and mother were constantly cheating on each other. This was a big blow for the girl, who sincerely believed that her family could be considered exemplary. Music became the girl’s salvation from family troubles.
Whitney Houston discography and filmography
Already in the 70s, Whitney could be seen for the first time on stages in New York, she took a place in backing vocal groups with larger performers. In 1981, she was spotted by manager Clive Davis, who saw her perform in a nightclub, and then offered her to sign her first contract.
Already in 1983, she was able to conclude an agreement with one of the record companies – Arista Records became it. Whitney’s first album, released at 1985 and called simply Whitney Houston, immediately brought her dizzying popularity – it was sold in the amount of 13 million copies.
The second album was called Whitney. Together with this creation, the singer Whitney Houston managed to rise to the first position of the popular and influential Billboard magazine, and this was a very remarkable victory: previously no woman could take the first line in this hit parade. The third album, which was given the name I’m Your Baby Tonight, also did not give reasons to descend from the top of popularity: it sold 8 million records.
Whitney’s strength was not only the vocal performance of songs, but also participation in the filming of video clips. Therefore, Whitney decided to discover the career of an actress for herself.
In 1992, a film was released with her in the title role: “The Bodyguard”. For this picture, she also wrote the soundtrack I Will Always Love You, which became the best-selling song in the history of the music industry. This song brought Whitney and the Grammy Award.
In 1998, the singer’s fourth album, My Love Is Your Love, was released, which was received with a bang by both the public and critics.
In the spring of 2000, Whitney: The Greatest Hits was released. After the release of the fifth album in 2002, Whitney’s active creative activity ceases. Despite a long lull, she returns to action in 2009 with her seventh collection of songs, which receives platinum status and sells 305,000 copies in the first week of sales.
Whitney has also been involved in charitable work, which she has led since 1989, when the Whitney Houston Children’s Foundation was founded.
Bad habits
Since the beginning of her career, Whitney has been considered a role model: she always came to meetings on time, was not seen in scandals and relationships with dubious men. By the early 2000s, the status of a “good girl” had changed, and mainly because of her husband Bobby, who had not the most beneficial effect on the star.
In 2000, the first rumors about Whitney’s drug addiction appeared. Whitney and her husband were even charged with possession of marijuana, from which the performer managed to pay off.
The singer went to the clinic twice for rehabilitation, but even after that, the journalists insisted that the celebrity had not given up her addiction.
Whitney Houston’s personal life
With the first fame, the first novels appeared: first, Whitney met with football player Randall Cunningen, and then with actor Eddie Murphy.
In 1989, she met singer Bobby Brown, who, after 3 years of close relationship, became Whitney’s husband. At 19In 1993, Whitney gave birth to his daughter, whom they decided to name Christina. Bobby had a difficult character and constant problems with the law: fights, drunk driving, sexual harassment of women. Bobby became a real disaster for Whitney: according to rumors, he could not live without drugs, and his destructive passion was passed on to his wife. In 2003, Bobby was arrested for hitting his wife during an argument.
In 2006, Whitney filed for divorce. After a long series of legal proceedings, the singer managed to draw up documents that transferred her daughter under her full custody.
In recent years, the performer had a relationship with the young actor Ray Jam, the former lover of socialite Kim Kardashian. The relationship between Whitney and Ray was also not calm: the couple either converged or parted.
Death of singer Whitney Houston
On February 11, 2012, her life was suddenly cut short at 48: she was found dead in a room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The ambulance that arrived was unable to save the star.
The exact cause of death has not been determined. It is reported that Whitney was found in the bath, so there was a version that the star choked. There are also versions that the singer took a lethal dose of an antidepressant.
The 54th Grammy ceremony, to which the singer was also invited, was dedicated to Whitney Houston.
On January 31, 2015, the 22-year-old daughter of singer Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious at her home, after which the doctors, in an attempt to save the girl, put her into an artificial coma. The main versions of what happened are an accident or a suicide attempt.
