Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm at my end. I have two beautiful girls, one is 6 with ADHD(mild), ODD(very mild) and PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress), my 8yr. old has ADHD(Severe), ODD(Severe) and Mood Disorder(Severe). Last year my 8yr old was hospitalized after she punched a boy in the throat, kicked a little girl in the mouth and busted her lip. I made a 911 call that afternoon to her psychatrist and after she asked me if they're going to sue, we decided to hospitalize her. She was on 60mg of Ritalin. Well after the hospital it was good for about 3wks. Then we changed her medications. , again. She's been on medication's since she was 3yr. Now her and her sister are here at a new daycare and they knew from before we started what issues they have. Now since Summer is here and they're there full time, they are going on like 3-4 field trips a week. My older daughter is starting her fits again, not wanting to leave the pool and kicking, biting, punching the staff. They are now telling me that she can not go on anymore field trips and I must come and get her while they're out. I'm a single active duty military parent. I can NOT just go sit with her for 3-4 hrs, 3 days a week while I'm paying them and getting written up at work. My daughter's counselor said to file a complaint with the state childe care and liscensing against the day care. I feel so bad for both my girls because I want to pull them out, only one is enjoying the skating, swimming, bowling, movies and the other is getting suspended from day care! Has anyone had this situation? The counselor told me to get a lawyer. I just kind of looked at him and was like "Uhm... do they take Visa?" Come on I barely make it pay check to pay check! Can anyone offer advice? Since day one I've asked the daycare to meet to discuss a behavior plan and have been ignored. Yesterday I mention discrimenation of civil rights and now all of a sudden today my Dr. needs to supply a letter so that we can have the meeting, although they are very busy this summer and not sure when that will be, so until then I still can't have my daughter on field trips!
