An Oklahoma City mother is claiming that her one-year-old daughter contracted herpes from her preschool teacher.

According to Oklahoma's News Channel 4, Consuela Smith says her daughter came home from Childtime daycare with blisters and sores on her mouth. When she took her to the doctor she was informed that her little girl had herpes simplex type one.

"She started getting blisters all around her mouth and bleeding," she said. "They told me that she had herpes."

After she heard the devastating news she called the daycare and learned they were aware that one of their employees had herpes.

The Childtime corporate office released a statement on the incident:

"Our children's well-being is of the utmost importance to us. We have strict policies and procedures to ensure we meet or exceed regulatory guidelines on health and safety. We take every precaution to prevent the spread of germs or illness, and investigate any reported concerns."

Smith is upset that her daughter has to suffer, but does plan to do anything she can to help her baby.

"It's nasty," she said. " A one-year-old walking around with Herpes."

Smith hasn't made any legal motions against the daycare.
