We had a child for around 5 weeks who is known to my family (btw, my mum and I work together, and it's her ex partners grandson who I'm talking about)
For one, we didn't get paid, and unfortunately we did not get around to her signing the contract. We had them all filled out and all she had to do was sign, and she never 'had the time' 'had a pen' 'run to get a bus' etc etc. I'm calling Pacey tomorrow to see if there's anything we can do to recover the money.
My main point though, is that whilst we had him in our care, there was an incident between his parents, that resulted in police being called.
His mother is a rather petty and dramatic woman (I for one did not want anything to do with her regarding the business) and she very easily manipulates her sons, to the point where they say things like 'the only woman I'll ever love is mummy and I'd love to only marry her when I'm older'.
The boy that we had said some things on several occasions that (I wont say specifics) that his mum had something that could harm his dad. Him being three I wouldn't expect him to know what he was saying or even know what the thing was that she said she had.
Now we told his mother what he'd said and she was shocked and denied it. I know that it was probably a fib or even that he'd misconstrued a conversation, but it's still made me feel quite uncomfortable. He (the child) also commented saying that sometimes the mums new partner called them 'rude words' and doesn't like them.
I've written everything down in my concerns book, and although they're all very well behaved, well clothed, well fed and looked after, I am concerned about what the child said and also how they're quite 'brain washed' to only love mummy and have been told to not love their daddy and call him by name.
What do you think I should do? We know longer have the child in our care and unfortunately are not on speaking terms with the mother due to her not paying us and her not responsding to our calls/texts etc.
