[Reedusstalker]

Id be pissed too! That is ridiculous. Its a waste of CPS resources

[Fullxbusymom]

I own a daycare and even I think that is ridiculous.

[Spookly]

What a F***ing waste of resources. I mean it's good that they wanna protect your kid and all, but there's a such thing as being OVERLY dramatic about it and bothering the shit outta people when it's something you don't need to make that big a deal about. SMH

Update us

I cannot stand those 3 letters in succession and what they stand for. More often than not...at least in the stories I've heard and have been witness to over the years...they don't protect the child at all. :/

I'm sorry that you have to deal with that.

DS 2 had a fever (100) yesterday and the daycare called. I could not be reached at work and DH is out of town so they went down the emergency contact list. My mom is first and she was willing to come get DD but she was about an hour away so they called MIL who didn't answer.

After that they called DD17. Her last day of classes was on friday and she is graduating later this week so she was sitting at home doing nothing. She went down to get her brother. When they checked her ID they said they could not let her leave with DS because she is not an adult.

By this time I had already called the day care back. I was telling them it was fine if DD took DS home. They said they could not allow it and that if I didnt have an adult there to pick him up within 20 minutes they would have to call CPS. I guess they have a time limit on when they have to call CPS if a parent or someone does not pick up a child.

I tried to rush down there but they had already called when I got there. DD was just sitting there the whole time.

I am pissed about the whole thing. There is no way I am sending DS back there. I have no idea if CPS will even come out for this. I am not worried about that because I feel the daycare was being ridiculous. For one they allowed DD to be on the pick up list. They had a copy of her drivers license so they had her age. If her being a minor was an issue they should have said something. There is also NOTHING in the rules against DD picking him up. There were also a few other people on the emergency contact list that they didnt even bother contacting.

There was no reason to call CPS for this. It wasnt like there was noone there for DS. I am so angry and worried about CPS even though logically I know I shouldnt be.

This is ridiculous! She could have taken him home and saved everyone a head ache.

That sounds crazy if that’s all that’s too the story. Has there been any other issues with the daycare? I’d be mad too.

[WickedLauraBelle]

Waiting cps’s time. I get you being freaked out! But you did nothing wrong!!!!! It is on them! They had her info! If her age was a problem they should have said so way before!!!!!

I'm curious, was this an in home daycare or a daycare center?
