        I wouldn't have contacted her either. Not a card or anything. It's a shame how some parents are.

            I had one show up 4 years later (I moved across the state during that time, NO contact) with an 8 year old saying he had been crying for me for a week at night and she did not know what to do. He did not want to see me.

            Grandma had been telling a story to her friends about the care he received while showing photos I sent her, he overheard, and started asking to go back to me instead of his new public school.

            Mom then started to bargain that he could call me and tell me how his day was everyday, instead . He is 12 now and still calls to tell on his mother whenever he does not agree with her rules. I fielded many "overnight", "weekend visit" and "can I come to your party" requests.

            Seriously, Call Block, now.... Once they can text, email, facebook AND google Earth you, it is too late.::

            Kids.

            There is no shame in sending an anonymous Happy Birthday balloon arrangement, tough.... Not all imaginary friends have to have a phone number

              Ok so I get a text that says.....
              Sorry I let p call. She talked about u tellin her she could see you when u werent working. And asked to call u she jumps everytime the phone rings and asks if it's u. I never thought u would have a problem with her calling

              Then 15 min later

              I hope u can find it in your heart to call her. She started crying and told me u were supposed to be mad at me not her

              Geeze!!!! What now ?

              Do I still ignore?

              Do I text back saying that I'm not mad at anyone but ?????????

              Do I call????

              Do I text saying that while I miss her, I think it best to remain in her past.

              Do I just say , why after 10 months would she want to call me?

              Or

              I still say I'm going to ignore her. Or should I just say,

                Did you and the child ever have a phone relationship?

                This is too emotional blackmail/munchausen-like for me.

                Maybe text back "It is unhealthy to allow her to obsess on this. We are not family or friends. This is making me uncomfortable. Stop this, now. I will file a report if necessary."

                  No phone relationship. On her last day she said can I see you? I said sure honey. We will see each other, we live in the same town. That was in march of 2010. Nothing until now.

                    I agree with this. Something seems very off about it to me.

                      Yep, I agree also. Was this mom this freaky/flaky when you cared for her daughter? If this was my issue, I would text exactly what Catherder typed.

                        Ignore, ignore, ignore. Don't even read the texts if it's going to bother you. Just delete as they come in. She is using this child to get to your emotions. Don't allow it. If the child took 10 months to "cry" over you, something is way off. Rise above it and don't let it get you down. YOU did nothing wrong here. Just go on with your life as if she never tried to contact you. If you see them (or the girl) around town, then of course say hi and ask what they've been up to, etc., but don't allow her to guilt you into anything.

                          Thanks guys,.... I'm still ignoring her. Yes she is a needy whiney drama one. You know, different daddy for the girl every 6 mo. Then boyfriend in jail shes paying his bills, car cell etc. Sending him money. Telling child daddy is away working. It's not her dad. Her dads a real piece of work too. Loads of drama. I'm just ignoring. She knows how to push my buttons

                                Would you consider taking this to your mentor (the one who visited your program) to ask for advice? That way, it is documented should she pull another prank complaint like last time, and you will get some sound advice as well from someone who has a background in this situation.
