Daughter says AP intentionally fed my son food he's allergic

Sorry, from above, I didn't see how she'd already left. In which case, you are needfully venting because there is nothing else to do in this case. You all survived, hindsight is 20/20, yadda yadda... Give yourself some time to recover and learn from this for the future. Honestly, if the allergy is like most to dairy it was likely GI in effect, so she just bought herself some more interesting toilet clean ups from it.

Am I the only one who thinks that this could be potential child abuse and should be investigated? OP- did your child ever have any symptoms, anything out of the ordinary that you had to take him to the doctor for? Does your older child ever make things up, or do you think she is typically credible? (I also have a child who has told me his teacher punched him in the face, so mine is not that credible, but I definitely know several children who are credible at this age). Many child psychologists can also very easily elicit the truth from children.

If your son ever had symptoms and you feel that you can trust your oldest with the truth, I would 1) contact the agency and report the AP; 2) contact the family the AP rematched with and let them know what your daughter said (and that it may or may not be true, but to give them the head's up); 3) having your daughter talk with a child psychologist to see what they think; and/or 4) consider calling the police and reporting her.

Some children have mild reactions to allergens (mild rash, watery eyes, itchy skin, etc.). Others can have life-threatening, severe reactions to even minuscule exposure to allergens. Suspected child abuse should always be reported.
