What is the follow up on this?!

Wow!! Just Wow! I really did think I've heard and seen it all.My mother ran a daycare for 35 years So I've seen alot.
I personally am a hard@*% so I've only dealt with one other parent like this since I've been open(10 years)
Her emergency person picked up @ 5:50p.m.,so 20 minutes late.
Guess who dropped her off this morning-THE SAME GIRL!!!
She said that she never got a hold of her the whole night."Could I please take him just for today,she had to go to work."
I was actually so shocked I had to sit down,luckily he was the first one to arrive today so I asked her a few questions and tried to get as much information as I could.I asked her if she had called the police to report her missing,called her parents,anything.
Her response"No,because she does this alot"
Oh really!! I took him and called the police and dhs so fast that she wasn't even out of the drive way yet.
They came out and took him into custody around 9a.m.
I think I need a drink after today.I'm so upset and pissed off at the same time!!! I have no idea what is going to become of this whole mess. ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR GUT INSTINCT!

Good for you for calling DHS! That's incredible that a person would simply abandon their child like that....especially at a new daycare where they aren't even long term clients yet. (not that it is better if they were, but still!!! )

That poor child! I cannot imagine a parent doing that...

I was going to say that maybe she got in an accident or something. - until I read the part that "she does this a lot".

Not good - sound like Mom is a druggie.

[SandeeAR]

WOW. But just curious. How old was the child?

[sassysue]

He is one.I am so sad for him.He loves to cuddle and looks just like my little brothers when they were little.Longer brown curly hair,big brown eyes with long eyelashes.Has him self a little tan he is adorable.It makes me so sad because we cannot have a child and to see this makes me so upset.I'm going to go to bed and try not to think about it

[cheerfuldom]

that is so shocking but you did the right thing. I cannot imagine not being able to track down mom for the whole night!!!! update again if you hear what happens with this

[SilverSabre25]

Oh my! I feel so bad for that little boy and am glad you did the right thing.

[DCMom]

You did the right thing, I hope you have a nice weekend!
