This morning I found what I beleive to be a FLEA in a childs hair !! Now I called the mom to come pick up but when is it safe for him to come back ??? What do I do ?

I had seen something before in his hair but never cought it. I cought it in a bag this time and by the pics I saw on the internet I DO beleive it is a flea. PLus the mom has confirmed they had flea problems when she picked him up. WHAT ! So now I have no doubt it comes from him. I am so mad she still brought him here, when she new of the problems. She said she put a flea color on the pet... Humm you need to have it treated I said to her. I told her to look at the pic of flea bite on the internet as well coz her child does have skin problems but some do look like what I saw on the internet as well. She said they did have bites on their ankles once but the problem went away !! AAAAAAAAAAAARGG ! When I asked if she had the appartement treated she said ... hum just a little bit. OMG ! Are you serious people !!

This is the child I had to get a medical form for his severe skin problems that bled all over his body , this is the child I had to ask the parents to provide proper clothing everyweek, this is the child I had to ask the parents to change the diaper bag as it smelled of cat pee ! OMG I want to terminate them so much. I LOVE the child ... hi might be leaving soon too but the parents have not yet confirmed when. There plans are all over the place...I also need the income but I feel I can no longer take health risks with having this kid around. The parents have always been good in a sense they pay well and are actualy nice poeple ... I just think they are clueless.

Ok so I need advice please ...What to do next !? I told the mom I would get back to her once I found a proper solution but there would be a chance he would not be allowed back in daycare until ... I was thiking maybe to have confirmation from vet that the cat has been treated and from the landloard that the appartement has been treated ?? Should I just terminate on which grounds ? This is my termination policy

BOne month’s written notice (before or on the first day of the months before the last day of daycare) is required in order to terminate childcare without which, full monthly daycare fees will still be charged.

I will also advise parents with one month’s written notice if I am no longer able to provide services for their child.

I will terminate daycare services for your child immediately for the following reasons:

- Non-compliance with the policy and procedures guide.
- Non-compliance of contractuel obligations.
- Persistent violent and destructive behavior even after parents intervention.
- If I determine that there is a security risk for any of the children attending daycare or myself.
- Non-payment or frequent delays of daycare fees.
- More than 5 consecutive days of absences without any communication of any kind with parents.
- Omission to submit required forms
- If I am incapable to tend to your child’s needs without extra help.

I would feel very bad to terminate at the same time I feel so mad and that these people.

What do I do for the other kids and my home ? I have animals (all treated by vet). At this time there is no reason for me to beleive my house is infested. I feel I should tell the other parents but I also do not want to creat a panic since there is no reason to beleive the house is infested. Should I wait until I see more evidence ??

Sorry for the long post I am just horrified, stressed out and I dunno .. definately freaked out ! Thanks for your help !!
