He is after all a child and it is not fair on your part to terminate him from your daycare where kids get their first grooming. Make sure that the parent knows the scene. Have a word with her.
Ethical? How is suggesting a caregiver put herself at risk then, ethical? A caregiver who no longer feels she can provide care for a child and wishes to terminate should be free to do so. Of course we all try our best but sometimes there are children/parents/situations that are not worth our time and energy to deal with and termination is the only way. At the end of the day we don't OWE anything except our best efforts to these families and when those fail or should I say when our best efforts get "used up" if that makes sense then it is time to move on. Not everything is FAIR in life!
