If they are spreading these rumors and still bringing their kids to you for care, certainly that would question their accusations as to being false to people their telling this to. I mean if this is so true then why would they still bring their kids to care? I would have to confront them and ask to see proof. Then, I would TERMINATE immediately. You don't need people like this. Wish I could give you a hug!!

Hope this ends soon!

I suggest that you request that lead levels are checked in your home. Provide a copy of the written report to all of your families. When you do this, also provide each parent with a letter stating that you take pride in your work and in providing the highest level of quality care available. That due to parental concerns about lead levels in their own children, you chose to conduct the testing to ensure that you are providing the safest environment possible for all of the children in care. State that if your child has been diagnosed as having elevated lead levels that you will require a doctor's statement from them that states the elevated lead level and that it is safe for their child to be in care, as you want to ensure that other children are not exposed to high lead levels that their child is carrying. State that without this doctor's statement that their child cannot return to care until you recieve it, and as per program policy, payment is still due, regardless of wether their child is in attendance.

AFTER that, if they fail to provide you with the statement, turn them away at the door every day until they have it. IF they say they just assumed that their child had elevated lead levels based on another parent 's "gossip" I would then tell them that due to them providing false information in the community, you consider this slander and care is terminated immediately. Then let them know that they will be hearing from your attorney if they continue to spread false accusations.
