My licensed homeday care providers daughter hits my 7 month son on head.?

Question

My homeday care providers daughter hits my 7 month son on head. I came to know from other toddler , who told me about this. He told me that her daughter hits my son often on head, and he cries a lot. When I talk to her she got mad at me, and started yelling and abusing. She also said that will I be there in the school, when he grows up and will be bullied by others. I told her that at least he will be able to fight back that time, but today he is too small. On that she asked me to stop bringing my child to her daycare. I did that, and also I have filed a complaint with concerned authorities about the incidence. But I was zapped to see a court notice from her, that I have breached the contract and I own her two weeks pay. Though actually contract was broken by her.

Answer 1

OMG that's crazy. Get an attorney. Fight back. You shouldn't have to pay her for abusing your child. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 2

You need to get a lawyer, if you win she will pay lawyer fees. If you can prove that your child was in danger while being her care, you will not pay anything.

Answer 3

if she wants to take it to court then take it to court, because there is no way that she will win. If  your child is being abused then removing them from the daycare is in the best intrest of the child and that is your responsibility as a parent to protect your child. so you did the right thing

Answer 4

Regardless of whether she asked you to not bring your child there anymore - YOUR CHILD WAS BEING HURT in her home while under her care and she did nothing to prevent/stop it  -you do NOT owe her anything as you felt your child was in harm and that alone is enough to stop taking your child there. You really should talk with a lawyer - even countersuing for your lost time and cost of finding new sitters - even if you don't want to get money from her, she might drop her case because you are willing to fight for what is due to you. She needs to lose her license. This makes me so mad.

Answer 5

court is a good idea and she dosn't need to be a baby just because your mad her kid is hurting yours.

Answer 6

get a lawyer-there is no reason to subject any child to being abused and paying for it to happen

Answer 7

Tell the authorities that she told you not to bring the child anymore. But follow with the complaint. She shouldn't be able to watch peoples children. Do not pay her!

Answer 8

If she told you not to come anymore, then you shouldn't have to pay her. I would never take my son to a place like that! Good luck with your case.

Answer 9

Stand your ground and when you go to court explain who broke the contract and for what reasons. If she broke the contract then you don't have to pay anything. If you broke the contract then explain the situation and how she basically told you to continue to let your seven month old son to be abused. It sounds like she needs to be checked out for mental problems, if she thinks anyone in their right mind will let their baby be abused and then pay her for it!

Answer 10

take it to court dont worrie you'll win she sounds like a piece of work.

Answer 11

Counter sue. And continue complaining to any licensing boards and child welfare offices. That woman shouldn't be allowed to watch other people's children.
