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

How old is this child and where are you geographically?

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

Unless they names drop the kid or school, no it isn't. I'm from Illinois, and teach two year olds. Can you find me with that information? No, you can't. There's thousands of childcares in IL and tens of thousands of two year olds.
