Eek OP, this is a tough call. On one hand, it may be best to just overlook this as someone else's problem and concentrate on your own life, etc.

On the other hand, there are precious children involved here and you don't want to feel guilty later on if something were to happen to these children.

I would probably just stay out of it.
I would love to change the world, but unfortunately there are certain things that I have no control over.

Sure, you can report it, but I would simply keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Report it. PP is right, by law you are a mandated reporter and this situation is neither safe nor legal.

I'd also report her for cheating by taking unemployment, if you can.

That's the law.

Obviously there are shades of grey w/ the situation you describe but if you feel the right thing to do is to report the law actually supports that decision.


Yep. By law, you are a MANDATED REPORTER.

Does your boss know about this? I would inform him/her.

Details about the childcare? This is from asking her myself.
