[QUOTE="Andy, post: 173208, member: 5096"] Day camp staff should automatically report this to their supervisors. However, this is serious enough to make sure that report was made. This could have been very dangerous especially if he did get that 2nd dose. I would call the director and ask if the staff did write a report and figure out which child got the your difficult child's medications - the parents need to be informed ASAP. They might be wondering why their difficult child is not behaving as usual (duh, didn't get the right medications.) Then ask what the policy is to hand out medications - I thought medications were suppose to be provided in their original bottles with patient's names on (I always ask the pharmacy for a 2nd empty labled bottle so I can give to the school). Are the kids not identified well enough? Are the staff just going by who they think the kid is or are they asking for a name? I can see a staff saying, "Oh, I thought that was Johnny." When it was really Robbie. How can the camp be certain the other kid got the right one? Did you get your difficult child's medications back and they were all there? Yes, this is VERY important. I am so glad your difficult child is still safe and I would tend to give him leeway in his behavior during those medicated hours - he probably didn't understand why he was behaving like that and maybe could not have controlled it. Though I probably would have reacted like you did, when my difficult child starts in, I often just see the moment and don't see what caused it. - 20/20 is a lot easier isn't it? Tell difficult child that next time he is given something that doesn't look like what you give him that he is allowed to be as GFGish as needed to refuse to take it until someone else goes over his medication sheet and maybe call you to verify if needed.
