A hard situation, need advice

[michellesmunchkins]

First, I can't imagine what you have just been through. Thank you for posting such a difficult subject. Just goes to show how quickly something can happen in this job.

Secondly, I wouldn't take the family back. I would hope that all my daycare families would KNOW without a DOUBT that I would NEVER place their child into a situation where something like that could happen. It would always bother me that they felt their child was not safe in my care, or that I allowed their child to be placed into such an awful situation. Trust is HUGE in our job!

I'm not saying they were wrong in having involved others, but they should have come to you first and went from there...just my opinion for what its worth.
