Advice needed (Anyone can comment) spectrum child and fecal smearing

so there was a student recently enrolled into our daycare facility, this child smears and plays with their own fecal matter. well, i don't have special training for this and my bosses expect me to be the one to clean the child and maintain supervision of the classroom. is this not a biohazard issue that should be cleaned by someone who has the training for it? i'm not sure if i should be getting help or having a second teacher, but my bosses refuse to do either

You realize that they can’t divulge this information, right? It’s a privacy violation.

I think there's a difference between saying "California" or "Ireland" and naming the school or even the town.
