    Yes, it needs a little reworking. Thank you.

      If she has an older child as well how does she not know that the older child did not bite him! How do we even know that this did not happen at home.

      I had a biter here who bit another little boy. After that first incident I watched him like a hawk! One day he did not get his own way, a child had a book he wanted and he proceeded to chomp down on him but I caught him and was able to stop it. I did tell the mother about it and she apologized but that was it. From then on when I could not be right by his side he was separated and alone in another area.

      One day a little while later at drop off the mother mentioned that her son had a bite mark on his back. I knew that it could not have happened here because the other 2 year old had been away for the week and the under twos are no where near the older than 2 year old kids.

      Mother said Oh it must have been B then!

      Turns out he was bitten by his older brother other times before and mom saw it and knew it about it but never said a word.

      They are so quick to blame us but won`t take responsibility or admit if its their own unless they get caught like she did. No other kid could have bitten this boy here because he was the only one here all week!

        I now also do a complete head to toe check every morning immediately after drop off for this very reason. Any and every single mark is noted and if it warrants a call mom will get it seconds after pulling out of my driveway to come back and inspect.
