[quote=Anonymous]"Meh, maybe you would have complained to the Director a bit but report to licesning - I think its a 90/10 split in favor of 90 % just grumbling about it."

Given that you don't know me, my child, my family situation, or my previous relationship with this company, I find it hard to understand how you can second guess my response.  I've had some experience with licensing in the past, I absolutely would've reported this if I had known.

I can't speak to other parents actions, and as I'm not super close with them, I haven't discussed the details of the incidents involving their children at great depth - so I can not tell you to whom (whether it was internal management or licensing) they reported their concerns.

I just don't understand why you are blaming the parents for not knowing that their children were mistreated.

I also don't understand why you are calling my attitude "holier than thou" or "ridiculous".  My son was harmed by this center.  As soon as I found out about it, I called licensing to discuss it with the investigator.  There is nothing ridiculous about a center violating even the most basic safety standards, let alone some of the more serious violations committed by this center.

It is the job of the center director, and the teachers, to self report incidents about which there is no way a parent could be aware.  Why are you defending them so much and insulting the parents who have already had their children harmed by this center?  I'm not saying parents shouldn't also report violations if they become aware of them - it's everyone's responsiblity to keep children safe and centers honest.  So if parents know, and do not act, perhaps some blame can lay there.  But isn't it the basic job of the center to take care of and ensure the safety of our children?  And if a teacher fails to do that, isn't the whole purpose of management to be watching over, and make sure that everyone is following the rules and requirements?

Why shouldn't we hold management to that standard?  Why should we expect or allow them to provide us with less?  [/quote]
