Just days after a shocked mum shared images of her little girl covered in bite marks after returning home from daycare, another mum has shared details of a similar incident.
Furious mum Rocio Umsted revealed her daughter was bitten around eight times at a different childcare centre in Arizona.
Umsted's toddler was left with several angry red marks on her back with the child's skin reportedly being broken in places too, news.com.au reported.
"I was upset, and I get it, kids are going to be kids, but when I picked (sic) checked my daughter out she had about 8 bite marks all over her back … how can you justify this?" the mum wrote on Facebook.
"We pay good money to get our children taken care of. Moral of the story please be careful on where you leave your children for daycare."

The president of the nursery later said the toddler "was injured by another child very quickly and while the caregiver was changing a diaper".
"This is not meant to excuse the incident but to explain what happened," she wrote. "We can and will do better and this unfortunate matter has provided some hard-learned lessons."
The child responsible for the biting has now been expelled, she added.
On Wednesday, another mum was left horrified after finding her 15-month-old daughter covered in blistering red bite marks after collecting her from a separate Arizona nursery.
Alice Bryant was left in tears when she found 25 marks on her young daughter's back — but still hasn't been told the truth by staff or authorities about what went on, despite filing a police report.
Frustrated, she shared the confronting images to her Facebook page, explaining they happened within five days of her 15-month-old starting at the daycare.
"No word and neither department contacted me with updates, and I signed up for victim notification," Ms Bryant said in her post alongside three images of her daughter, showing the severity of the marks.

She warned parents not to take their children to the daycare centre, saying they didn't call or notify her when it occurred.
"All of these bites happened in one day. Please share!"
According to Live5News, the Tucson Police Department said officers took an initial report and the Crime Scene Unit took photos on February 26, the day the incident happened.
"At first, I was like, 'Are those really bite marks?' And then, my brain kinda stopped thinking and I started crying," Ms Bryant told the publication. "There's over 25 plus, it's hard to tell. "Twenty-five would be the minimum that the police officer and I discussed.
"It's stomach-turning. It feels both angry and sad at the same time," Ms Bryant said.
