In a case that raises questions about how far child care workers should be required to go in administering medical care, the parents of a 2-year-old girl with diabetes claim a Coppell day care is violating the law because it refuses to give her insulin shots.

"It could easily be fixed," Dave Campbell said. "The day care at this point refuses to budge on what we feel is right as parents."

Campbell's daughter, Caroline, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes about a year ago and requires insulin injections after most meals -- a routine so common, she doesn't even flinch.
