I don't think making the parent pay is fair because after all they were not there to prevent it and after all, you left her unsupervised. I think it deserves punishment of some kind for the child, but not necessarily for the parents. In terms of a letter, I would stick to the facts, keep it simple and keep your anger about this whole thing OUT of the letter. Remember you are not ASKING them to go on probation or to be terminating them, you are TELLING them. When you are telling/ demanding there is less reason to go into detail and get dramatic about things.
I understand that, and i agree with you to a certain degree, but in my case, i was in the washroom. It's not like i was gone for half an hour. it was 10 min! (unfortunately sometimes it takes me a little longer to go). I have a policy in my contract that states that if anything gets damaged or broken by a DCchild, the parents have to pay for it. It wasn't a DC toy it was my daughter's doll.
