Well, I have a story to tell you that is a perfect example of having to loose a child because of what the parents did.
I have this dc family, the little boy was sweet. Seemed to be a good match to my dc.
After several months of having him there was a biting incident between him and another child. Of course I dealt with it swiftly and went on with the day. When dad got here to pick him up, he barged through the front door and barreled straight toward his son (who was the victim) to check the bit which was all but faded by that time of day. Then he walked over to the boy that did the biting, pointed down to him and said in a very deep gruff voice " no bitting, you don't bit. So that child started to cry right away because he felt scared and kept crying for the next 5 or so minutes. My daughter run over to him and comforted him while I picked my mouth off the floor! I told him that I had already dealt with the situation and that he did not need to further it in any way. The dad said to me that if his son would of been the biter he would of "swatted him on the a_ _ because he knows that biting is wrong. He smirked and said sorry for making him cry and then said "aaaawww he will live, and couldn't believe he was still crying.
I called the mom the next morning and said that I couldn't provide dc for the child anymore because of what the dad did. Do you know the dad had the nerve to call me back twice because he couldn't believe what a big deal I was making over this. Then in the same breath he begged me to take the child back and that he would just band himself from my house. I said no! In this case I lost a good kid because of an idiotic parent. I think the school was right to do what they did. And we all know that social media is not that private!!! This was all over picture day? Really? That parent is a PITA! I cant believe she tagged the school on facebook. I'm here to say that Parents never read the stuff in the kids folders!- Flag

According to the letter of dismissal, Habat's “relationship with Sonshine did not get off to a very good start the first day of school. … You utilized social media to call into question not only the integrity but the intelligence of our staff. ... These actions are also consistent with sowing discord, which is spoken of in the handbook you signed.”Each day is a fresh start
Never look back on regrets
Live life to the fullest
We only get one shot at this!!

This is what the letter said they school sent, so to me it sounds as if it was the childs first day of school:

I'm going to be odd man out-
I would have made her come into the office and shown her where it appeared on the facebook of the childcare. Then I would have asked her to delete it or retract her statement in front of me. Then I would have a nice little talk with her. She would be understanding I was very serious on this matter and she was walking a very fine fine line with my business.
Doing it this way it more then likely wouldn't have made the news.
By terming her immediately, it has now made the news, people are posting about it, people are talking about it and she has received her 15 min of fame. Also, there might be people out there who will now question something about the school because it went from facebook to very public news.
Since it was the childs first day, did she really receive the information about picture day or not. It sounds as if they handed the information out to children that attended the childcare part, so if your child wasn't there, how would you have received it.
Just a thought?
And as for picture day, I have forgotten before and no big deal. It is not the end of the world if your kid is not all dolled up that day. Really. talk about a first world problem.- Flag
