[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 536260, member: 1991"] We have a similar system here, in some areas of child care. For a while difficult child 3 was being minded by a woman who was registered this way. His carer was a lovely person, very capable and very caring. But the people doing the inspections were a problem at times. One day I collected difficult child 3 and was told that during the inspection that day, these inspectors had decided that difficult child 3 showed all the signs of emotional neglect, and they had dobbed me in to the child welfare people. I had a lot of hassle proving that I was not an unfit parent. I got proactive and rang the welfare people myself and talked it out, then put some things in place for difficult child 3. We'd had his name down for speech pathology, for example, but when I rang the clinic to check, he had fallen off the waiting list. The lack of his name on a waiting list was then seen as more evidence of my neglect. Luckily I keep a diary, I was able to say exactly when we had put in the paperwork, what day, even what time of day. In our case, the carer was profusely apologetic, angry on our behalf, but not able to prevent any of this. By me getting proactive, we headed the problems off and the case was dropped in a matter of weeks. But it was scary for a while, I was especially concerned by how easy it was for things to get out of hand. Marg [/QUOTE]
