Child Care issues

[Duck Sniper]

I'm sorry , but I gotta , if it's me then I'm puttin my finger in the britches face and making sure that she knows better than to EVER harm my child again in any way other than an booty wippin .

Hell , when I grew up just about every adult in town knew that they had better snatch my little booty ( by my arm/leg/hair or whatever they could grab ) up any time they seen me forkin up . That's just the way it was , I know things are a lot different now but damn , when did everything become about money .

I ain't hatin on anybody , but when you look at your kids and you see $$$$$$$$ you need to check out your priorities .

And I ain't hatin on lawyers either , but a bunch of sue happy sonsabiches is part of what's wrong with this country today .

Just sayin , if it's me , I handle my bidness , she knows better than to ever do it again , and we move on .

unreasonable, irrational, and childish are the only words that come to mind when i read this response, too, for the same reasons as above.

Do what you have to do. Someone needs to be held responsible. Spankings do not come with bruises. Not matter what the child did the action by the teacher was uncalled for. I do not care if my child is 1 or 18 not matter what they do it does not call for bruises.

JBS, I feel for what you are trying to decide. I can somewhat agree with what Sprig and Delta Duckman said. Lot of truth in both their post. But in your case (especially if it happend the way u say) this needs to be persued. You don't have a right to go get the tape, but the prosecuter does! By you fileing the report the co. Prosecutor should handle the criminal part of it from there. Yes laws were broken and they should be enforced! Personaly I may could have overlooked the snatchin him up and forcefully puttin him in the chair. I say may only because I wasn't there nor have seen the video. However if she "slung" him into the chair that in itself is assault in itself. But when she retalliated the second time? That's assault with intent! (bout 5 to 15 years in MS) gordie, judge yall correct me on that if I'm wrong! But either way that needs to be persued. You have what sounds like a very good civil case as well and definately justifyed. However sueing just the teacher would most llikely weaken ur case. The liability rest on the daycare. By them firing the worker asap it would and does show a good faith effort, but still as the buisness the liability still rest on them. The culprebal neglegence would be on the worker. Unless a jury decision decided to release one or the other. I came up in a family of lawyers, judges, and senators. I don't believe in frivelous lawsuits either. But in this case as it sounds I feel as a parent it is ur responsibility to persue this! Good luck with ur decision!

I am sorry this happened to your child. I am still pissed after reading it. I have very little knowledge of the law, and I probably shouldn't comment to it, but I would definitely talk to a very good attorney. I would certainly need one after I was thrown in jail. It's hard to say what I would do without it happening to my children, but I figure at the very least I would rip that biches arms out of their sockets so she would have a reminder of what it felt like when she did it to my 2 year old child. I would hope that I would calm down enough to not take it any further, but who knows where my childrens health are concerned. I do know that there wouldn't be any "movin on" as was suggested by someone earlier. Seems like that bich was angry at your child and acted out. No child should be punished in anger in my opinion. I remind myself of that all the time with my own kids. Spanking works, I'm living proof, but it shouldn't occur as a result of the adult being angry and wanting to inflict pain. Done correctly, it will leave a lacting impression in a child's mind.
I gotta tell ya, the more I think about an adult doing that to a 2 year old, the more pissed off I get. If it happened the way you said, I would take it to the next level and beyond. The bich and the daycare should be held responsible IMO. And screw the people who say you shouldn't be going after money for your childs well being!! It's not about money, it's not about revenge, it's about the responsible parties being held to that..THEIR RESPONSIBILITY!

If this really happened.
1) Contact the authorities, pronto!!!
2) Hire a good lawyer
3) Have him file criminal and civil charges against the day care.

Crimes against children, the elderly, and defenseless animals tug at my heart more than anything. These people need to be brought to justice. I don't think I could have kept my composure. Someone would be dead or wished that they were. This is totally unforgivable behavoir on the day cares part. Heads need to roll or it will happen again to someone elses child!

Another thing I'm dealing with is say a loved one gets killed tonight in a bad car wreck by a drunk driver do you sue the driver or hold the bar that over served him alcholol liable for the death of a loved one. Kinda the same situation

No it's not "Kinda the same situation..." either. Listen, you've gotten some very good advice here, so please pay attention to it. Okay?

To recap -
1: Take your child to another daycare.
2: Hire a Lawyer
3: File criminal charges against the daycare worker (She should pay for her actions, and a well deserved @$$ whoopin will untimately punish you.)
4: File criminal and civil charges against the daycare (They are liable for the actions of their employees, and they should be punished as well. Unfortunately, there are limited ways for you to give them a well deserved @$$ whoopin.)
5: File civil charges against the daycare worker (if your attorney suggests such action)
6: Keep everyone associated with http://www.ducksouth.com posted as to the progress of this travesty (See, we can use big words too.) And finally,
7: Remember that you and your family are in our prayers.

Good luck.
