[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the director of a childcare center, I'm not sure I can do anything about it.  It's a decision the praent is making, outside the childcare center.  If the child who attended the center shows up with bruises, I'm a mandated reporter.  If the child doesn't show up with food day in and day out, I'm a mandated reporter.

But if a child who isn't enrolled in my center is doing something outside the center that I can't see or have proof of, then what can Ii do?  I guess if I were told this I'd have to speak with a police officer or someone to see what I could do.

Because speaking with the parent saying "you know that's really not safe" isn't going to change her - she knows it's not 100% safe but is playing the odds.

But I sure wouldn't like what was happening!  [/quote]

So basically you're saying that you wouldn't necessarily be aware of a parent leaving a child in their car during pick up/drop off but if another parent brought it to your attention you would feel obligated to report it to the police, CPS or whatever?[/quote]
