Postal carrier said she gave my package to a lady who fit the description of a DCM who denies even talking to the carrier. NO they should NOT have given her the package. I asked DCM in a blanket approach, like I was asking everyone, if they seen it or maybe a child could have picked it up & could she check her vehicle. DCM was very defensive.

4 days later DCM brings up package in a text. I said the post office stands behind their story & her check in time was around the same time the package was delivered. She was defensive again & change her story to giving the package to my SO. (He works in DC full time.) He texted her that she never gave him a package & maybe she could have given it to another person. She stopped by the pay & modified her story: the package had no labels on it & she didn't know it was from the post office, but she remembers giving SO the package.

The bottom line is she is not being factual. Her life is a drama & I don't want to deal with it anymore. We want to term, but not sure how to word this one. Anybody have any ideas? Please & thank you!!

wow! I'd just term her for stealing your mail..a federal offense, by the way. You may want to bring that up & say that the mail carrier is willing to corroborate your story in court. Especially fishy is that she changed her story! I hope it was nothing irreplaceable, but I'd tell her you were going to take her to collections and prosecute if the package was not returned. That's really crappy.

You lied to me. As of today, I will no longer be providing services to you. Good luck in the future.

I agree! I would terminate based on her lying and threaten with the above. was the package of much value? Some people really have no morals.

[Margarete]

stealing mail is a serious federal crime, and a felony no matter the value, not a smart move. It's nice that the postal worker knows her description. I would calmly mention how serious of a crime it is, and that you will have to turn the information over to the authorities if it doesn't turn up soon, and let her know that the postal carrier is giving her description. She may want to check her car again.
... or just term and turn the information over

[Blackcat31]

Um, Wow! I can't believe DCM would outright lie like that...I guess it takes all kinds huh?

I'm sorry this happened to you. I sure hope the package wasn't something confidential or really private/personal but I suppose that really doesn't matter as it was for YOU and not her.

I would simply call her and tell her that you don't feel you are able to continue providing care to her child considering the circumstances.

I would also make sure to mention that you WILL be pursuing this issue further taking legal action if necessary. I would FOR SURE mention the postal carriers statements and the fact that you WILL use that if need be.

I have a video surveillance system here at my daycare. I could prove in 3 seconds who handed what to whom....

Maybe you could tell her the neighbor caught it all on video and then see what DCM does/says... I AM KIDDING about that part but it sure would be nice it that were the case.

While I agree with everybody else as far as the dcm goes, I'd be equally upset with the carrier. What in the world were they thinking giving your mail to someone else in the first place?

[preschoolteacher]

Wow! Yes, I'd end services too. "Under the circumstances, I'm no longer able to continue care."

I can't believe the "I gave it to your husband" story! Of course you would check in with him! That's not even a clever lie...

[Josiegirl]

Wow, what is wrong with that woman? Usually liars come up with better stories. I wouldn't over think a term. letter for this one. But I agree completely with Mothernature.

[mrsnj]

Ok. Um. Wow! I am just jumping on here cause I want to see the outcome of this one! That takes major coconuts to do something like that!

[Hunni Bee]

That's seriously all I can come up with. Is she a pathological liar?

Term, and pursue legal action.

Police Report

I would text her:

I've decided to make a police report regarding the theft of my package. Hopefully, the truth will come out and appropriate actions taken.

[hgonzalez]

Wow! I had a similar situation recently. My neighbor had a little cash that she owed me and had her daughter put it in between my two front doors. I saw the girl walk up my sidewalk and then got busy with the kids. Ten minutes later, a DCM showed up to pick up and she did and then left. I then remembered the cash, went down to retrieve it and it was gone.

I confirmed with the neighbor that it was put there, and it was. I texted the DCM and didn't get a response for 2 hours. She did say that she had it but blamed her autistic child (3), saying she wondered where he had gotten it from.

I was really upset by this; anything on my property belongs to me. She did return it the next day, but I don't totally trust them now. There is NO WAY the kid picked it up, as he bolts out of the door and fast as he can. Ugghhh...the things we go through!

[BBDC]

wow some people!
