It has been a while since my dd has been young enough to be home while I do daycare, but I do not think I could have kept a child who attacked my baby like that. I quit working so I could stay home with her and did childcare for some extra money, so I had the luxury of not having to earn a certain amount of money. That would allow me to term immediately if something like this happened. I know that not everyone has that option. If you can afford to term, I would term. If that is not an option, I would be very firm with this dcb and his mother about the expectations and that this behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. If it happens again, or you do not think any kind of plan will work to make him behave, I would be prepared to term. Your baby's safety is the most important thing.
