[quote=Anonymous]I agree it's extremely fishy OP.  No detective will contact an employer when a case hasn't even been opened.  Detectives don't do social work on behalf of victims.  You are being had (or there is an attempt being made at least.)

Clearly you will not be having this nanny back in your house.

There is no criminal documentation.  There was no notice given to you by your employee.  There has been no contact from her since her plea for you to send cash.

Trust your instincts.

If you want to take an unassailable high road you can give severance.  I don't think it's necessary, but it would certainly extremely limit any suggestion that you could be in any way in the wrong.  (WHich of course you aren't.)

I would get as far as possible from any further interaction with this individual.  And i would have as little as possible discussion with her.

"Dear Anne, As you failed to report for work this week, or to notify us of your absence, we take this as abandonment of your job.  We appreciate the care you provided in your employment with us, and in consideration of that we are enclosing a check for the equivalent of one week's pay. If you need a reference for future employment we will be glad to verify the length of your tenure, hours, and level of compensation. We will mail your possessions to you.  We wish you the best."

What a crazy, and alarming scenario OP!!  Thank goodness you can keep her away from your kids.  I think you should even consider the possibility that you may need to contact the authorities yourself if she attempts to maintain contact with you.  I would be worried about putting up a major firewall between her and my family.
