I try not to judge, but I’m also utterly confused as to why the parents wouldn’t immediately have brought the child in for the shot after finding the bat, visible bite or not…

To tell the truth I wouldn't have thought about it. A stray deranged dog or racoon would raise alarm bells, but we set bats here at night always, and didn't consider the risk. Oops
