[quote=Anonymous]I know it's been said, OP...but you had me with you until the whole "molestation" thing.

You didn't need that to make your argument, but you threw it in anyway (I think because you thought it would pull a few more people toward your viewpoint.) But actually, I was there with you in concern simply at overhearing the employee describe this specific child's prior behavior. A kid who is violent or physical with other kids (even without special needs) would make me nervous about leaving my toddler around, but his being special needs may mean that he does not have control over these impulses and the worker is not prepared or properly trained to deal with outbursts of a kid who doesn't possess the impulse control or understanding to respond to verbal behavior corrections by this hourly staff member. That is dangerous when said kid is the same size as the staff member in charge.

That said, I would simply not leave my kid in the gym childcare when this child was there. (But I wouldn't leave my kid in the gym childcare when a 4 year old "bully" without special needs was there either.)

If that means you miss going to a class or have to reschedule, oh well. You can always tell the instructor (if asked) that you didn't feel comfortable leaving your kid there since the staff member had relayed that there is also a child there whose behavior is unpredictable and sometimes physical/violent.

Gym childcare usually has a restriction of the time period that a child can stay...around 1-2 hours. So he won't be there all day...and man...that mom needs a break too!!![/quote]
