Just talked to DCM. I told her that she is never allowed to do that again.
She just laughed and asked, what you didnt like my drop and run?
Um no.

My immediate response that comes to mind is ...
"I liked it just about as much as you're going to like me calling your son's school to tell them that he's truant and in my care because he didn't feel like going and just as much as you're going to like me calling licensing, filling out an Unusual Incident report and reporting you ."
I don't know that I'd actually say that, but I'd be tempted. Wow, total and complete lack of respect for your friendship and your business.Comment

Really for your own sake you should not take him anymore. This kid is likely to get into trouble while unattended. Doesn't sound like she is opposed to leaving him in the front yard either. This whole thing is just really weird and for your liability and his safety, I would say no in the future.Comment

I gotta ask. WHY on earth haven't YOU reported these incidents? You are a mandated reporter. You have witnessed children be left at great risk by a negligent mother. It is your moral and ethical responsibility, and lawful duty, to report this to Children's Protective Services. If you don't and something terrible happens, you can be held legally responsible just as much as Mom can.
Do something. Now.Comment

I'm not saying she shouldn't report it. But she is Canadian, and might not be mandated. Just putting that out there.Comment

So a friend who uses me for drop ins once in a while called and asked me if I could watch her son today.
I said sure bring him by.
She said I have to work at ten so I will drop him off at 9:45.
Half an hour goes by and she still hasnt shown up. So I go up to see if maybe she is outside and low and behold her son is just standing in my foyer all by himself. Standing there for a half hour all by himself.
Not only that, its not the right son. :confused: The one she left here is supposed to be at school. He is in Grade 1.
She just opened my door threw him in and didnt even make a peep. Not a Hi or a Bye.
I cant believe the gall of some people.
Do I say something to her? My hubby called her a twit and said dont watch these kids anymore.
Of course you say something to her.
"Hey Friend - what you did this morning is completely unacceptable. First of all, I was expecting you to be dropping off Johnny this morning, not Jimmy. Also, Jimmy can't be here during regular school hours... if he's not school-ready, he's not daycare ready. Second of all, you can't just leave either child unattended in any part of my home without making me aware. This is dangerous and absolutely disrespectful to both me and your child. Thirdly, I won't be able to provide daycare services anymore - sorry for the short notice".
I hope everyone eventually learns the golden rule of "NO FRIENDS. NO FAMILY. NO NEIGHBORS. NO EXCEPTIONS!".Comment

Why wasn't your door locked? If you watch kids shouldn't you keep your doors locked to keep the kids in and un-authorized people out? Also you need to call CPS and let them know about what happened. Let them decide if further action needs to be taken.Comment

Ok, this is uncalled for. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but if you don't like what their opinion is, you do not have to answer them. Nothing I read in her reply constitutes as a "crappy attitude"....and nothing she said was breaking any forum ettiquette rules either.
The situation was a bit and there are many responses on this thread about how differently it would have been handled by the many different providers here.
Many others felt the same as My3cents but yet she is the only one who you pick out to make a comment to about their attitude. :confused:
I'm sorry but we have ALL been newbies at one point to this forum (including you) and I just think this was an unnecessary response.

Well everyones attitude is uncalled for. I called and reported her.
But some of the OP are all up in arms like it's my fault.
They obviously have not shown up to talk to her cause she called and asked if I could take him again today.
I said no, take him to school where he belongs. Im full.
Sorry in a bit of a foul mood.
Im done with it.
My apologies to the new members.
