[quote=Anonymous]I've never left pressure marks on my children when moving them around even during the most dramatic of tantrums.  You pick them up and put them in a football hold on your side so they don't kick or hit and then you put them back down in a safer/more appropriate place to get a hold of themselves.  Leaving pressure marks is a result of aggressive squeezing which I would imagine someone would do if they were very angry and not in control.

If the director was not able to move your child without injury she should have called you and not touched your child.  If the situation was that bad I would have wanted to be called immediately and would have come at once.  The only situations that I've heard of this happening is with a friend's child with autism.  She was called numerous times to intervene because the child was at risk of harming himself.  She eventually placed her child in a center with staff well trained in caring for autistic kids and things settled down. If your child doesn't have special needs I highly doubt his melt down was that extreme.

This director actually reminds me of my 4 year old.  When my 4 year old hurts his little brother he'll come running to us to let us know what the situation is.  We always know when he's really hurt his little brother and knows he's in the wrong because he's clearly heading off the situation with damage control.

Just because the director wrote up a accident report doesn't make it okay.  If she even thinks she handled your child severely enough to leave marks that would last an entire day there is a problem.[/quote]
