Regina mom fights for answers after son comes home from daycare with unexplained marks

A Regina mother fights for answers after her 2-year-old son came home from daycare with unexplained marks on his body. The daycare said kids sometimes go home with bruises.

Jada Windigo, the mother of two-year-old Ronin Ackachuck, is fighting for answers from a Regina daycare.

Windigo took to social media after she discovered unexplained marks all over his bodylast week. She claims her son got the marks while at Regina’s Circle Project daycare, located in North Central.

“I ran him a bath and … took his shirt off, I noticed like a bunch of marks on his back, his left rib, his left arm,” said Windigo. “I didn’t know what to do, so I called my mom, and immediately she told me to call the cops.”

Windigo filed a report with Regina Police Service (RPS) on May 31. The following day, she called the daycare to request information on what happened only to be told there was no report and that sometimes kids go home with a scratch or a bruise.

“That’s what got me upset because … this was more than a scratch or a bruise,” she said. “There’s more than one mark. There were three on his ribs. I think he had about eight marks on his back in total. He had a bruise on his head, it looked like somebody pulled his hair.”

Windigo says her son Ronin enjoys climbing, jumping and playing on playground structures.  She said he’s very loving and cuddly and enjoys watching Angry Birds and is a fan of Super Mario. Ronin is also non-verbal and is on the waitlist to be officially diagnosed with autism.

Even without an official diagnosis, Windigo said Ronin displays a lot of the signs.

“He didn’t know his name at six months and when he began playing with toys, he would flip his cars upside down and play with the wheels,” she said. “(He would) line up all his balls in size from smallest to biggest.”
