Frankly, unless you actually know who it was, my bet is on someone who lurks here following the link to the CL ad and emailing her through there. One of the people who is/posts as unregistered just to stir the pot and enjoy the ruckus.Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!- Flag

To the mother- parenting is hard and hopefully you see this whole ordeal as a learning opportunity. Yes, every parent here makes mistakes and i do not know of ANY provider that has perfect children. Your child does not feel like their role is to be a child but as a leader. To me this is a huge and the most common mistakes that parents make today. Three year olds make poor leaders. Let go of the whole thing. You are doing nothing but embarassing yourself and announcing that you have an out of control child and owe a daycare center money. Just move on and find a good counselor that can work with you on solving these issues. You and your daughter will be all the happier for it.- Flag

Wow. After reading this entire thread, the only thing I am left with is this: Anger makes people say and do many things they later regret. I read a quote somewhere that went something like this: "Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the person you're angry at to die." I think both provider and parent made VERY avoidable mistakes. Neither is "right", neither is "wrong". We all make mistakes. I hope both the OP and the parent can let go of their anger and part ways without further incident and be less concerned with themselves and more concerned with what's best for the child. Its too bad all the anger we vent can't be converted to anger at poverty, hunger and homelessness among children. I know this was off topic, just my small, insignificant way of trying to help both provider and parent heal their hurt and anger. Peace.- Flag

Yes you are right. I didn't mean posters as in regular posters. I meant "users".- Flag

I just don't get it. Why can't people just respond and let it go. Why does someone have to go send this link to the mom.... Was it really neccessary? I thought we were supposed to be "Minnesota Nice". Guess not.
OP- I hope you can move on past this and continue providing great care! I hope this all blows over and you can relax a bit, I'm sure this was super stressful on you.
To the mom- take it as a lesson learned. Parenting is hard as h e double hockey sticks, none of our children are the perfect angels we'd like them to be. Correct the wrongs and move on. But don't be so low as to bash your previous provider on CL. That is just rude and makes you look 10x's worse.- Flag

My thoughts? We can't say for sure who notified the mom about this thread or why but I say why not? I think we must all know that nothing that we post online is confidential. Once it's posted, it's posted and free for the world to see and use as they choose. The idea of it possibly being a troll is a possibility but also Michael did mention that he removed the link to the CL ad that "seemed to bother some members". If you take it literal that means that more than one members were upset by it. The only reasoning that makes sense to me is that people became upset because the OP posted the link to the ad and asked forum members to flag it.
Personally I don't see anything wrong with that, it's the fastest way to get CL to take the ad down. If she would have contacted CL on her own it could have taken days for CL to contact her back and that could have been damaging to her business.
I know posters have mentioned that mistakes were made but I'm not sure what the OP's mistakes were. She was slapped in the face and she has no tolerance for hitting so she decided to term the child, she was well within her rights and I see no mistake there. She then contacts the parent to have the child picked up and all of the child's emergency contacts and one by one they don't answer until she gets a hold of the sister. I'm sure that by that time the provider was upset because of the fact that the parent and all but one emergency contact were unreachable. I'm sure she was short and possibly curt to the sister and the sister took it as being irrational or however she put it. She was frustrated, I can see that. Is that her "mistake"?
The only other thing that I can think of that could be her "mistake" is coming here and asking for advice and support and posting about her situation. I don't see this as a mistake per say because she didn't tell us any personal information about the family. No names, no address, not even the city or state where she is in. She came here for consultation advice from people who have experience in this field. I just can't see that her telling us what happened to her as a mistake either.
The mom on the other hand did go on CL and posted an ad slandering her business (I did not see the ad, I just read that she did). Apparently she put her name and address in it an everything. She even came on here and posted the providers name in her response (which was removed by a moderator). THAT is a mistake. One that hopefully has done no damage and hopefully that mom won't really sue over (I just can't see it being smart on the mom's end and difficult for her to win).
Although I didn't see the CL ad I did notice that there are now 2 ads in response to the ad, I'm assuming that both are from members on this forum.- Flag

Wow. Ok, my short and sweet take, OP, I wouldn't tolerate being slapped across the face by a child (or anyone else for that matter), and dcm, all we can do is teach our children the difference between right and wrong, and apologize for our childrens mistakes when they cannot. Take responsibility for your children. It is our job as parents to do so. Not your daycare providers job.- Flag

The only actual mistake I can think of is accepting a child at nap time. I think it's thoughtless on the parts of the adults to take a kid at the beginning of a stressful part of a first day.
The child is old enough to know better. It's not expecting too much from her.
I don't believe the "mom" when she says "the daycare center let her get up after 15 minutes". I think either she's lying, or they lied to mom, and she's just gullible.
I also don't believe it was a "billing" issue.<--riiight... and the reason all the people still sitting in a park "occupying wall street" is because they are the victims.
