Child Removed From Daycare After Injury

[Meeko]

You are saying that if a sex offender has a child AFTER he has been convicted and paid his dues to society that he won't be able to have custody and alone time on every child born to him thereafter? That's so silly.

The father had done time in another state and got out on "good behavior" He moved to our state, met a woman and had a child. He had no restrictions with his own daughter. His wife never knew about his past until later (he hid the fact that he was a registered offender from her) and was devastated to find out he was abusing their daughter. The jerk is doing time and will see the light of day again.

Miss Troll......yes I called you a troll.......you have no right to call me a liar. I have no reason to lie. I had this experience in my day care. The children's security is my utmost concern and I have learned that you can trust NOBODY. Not a single parent walks across my threshold without being run through the arrest check and the sex offenders registry.

nannyde....this post isn't meant for you!!!!! I was calling "unregistered" the troll!!!!

Yes but can you check EVERY State? Just because someone doesn't have an offense in my State doesn't mean they are not an offender. They are supposed to Register here but I have no way of knowing whether they do or not.

You can check the national sex offenders registry, but only local arrests. Some don't register. So I am afraid I treat every person as a possible offender when it comes to my little ones safety. Parents get to be around THEIR child only.

You know what it is. It's an ideology that is "feel good". It's like the old saying "a fat baby is a healthy baby". The public LOVES these kind of ideas because it suits what we WANT to think and do.

It's not grounded in any sound principle. It's grounded in "I'm the boss of you".

Im a little bit more than irritated about this. Can they actually get away with this crap? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks for your time,

What you can do is make a complaint to your licensing department. Whether it will be investigated or not is something I cannot answer but I do know that every complaint about a center or home is kept on file where I live. I would advise you to thouroughly read your contract and find out what it says about termination by the center and what they must do in order to term you. If your contract says they can term for whatever they feel is warranted, then it would be pointless for you to pursue it because you agreed to those terms. If it says they are required to give you notice and they didn't, then you could possibly hold them accountable by taking them to small claims court.

However, I must caution you that in situations like this it is going to be your word against theirs and the only facts the judge will probably look at are written documentation which I am betting they will have. I suggest that you simply move on and find a new child care provider, whether it be a home based or center provider is your call but try to find one that you can have an open line of communication with so in tough or sticky situations you both will feel respected and listened to.
