well where to begin first i wo...

well where to begin first i would like to tell you about my daughter she is 10 and is a great kid her mother and i love her very much she loves to read, draw,and play outside and on the playground she is a good kid, but like all kids she gets in trouble from time to time. now her mother and i don't believe in corporal punishment for disciplinary action for our daughter, for her it does not work. we use positive reinforcement and we'll place her on restriction if need be. so now you know a little about us let me tell you about the YMCA in pooler GA.. we took our child to them for daycare for the spring break holiday while school was out one week and she played and had fun and this Friday my wife picked her up and went home then the phone rang lo and behold it was DCFS it seems that some one at the YMCA had noticed some bruises on our daughter's leg and arms well they reported it to DCFS like you probably should if you are suspicious of child abuse and then they pulled my child in to a room and told asked her if mommy or daddy ever got mad and did bad things....so on and so forth well. the lady from DCFS comes out to the house and meets with us and takes pictures of our daughter and makes record of the bruises on her legs and arms she then takes my our daughter to the back room to ask her some questions in private we agree and they do. about 15 minutes later they come out and every thing seems to bee fine the lady from DCFS says to us she has to make a call to her supervisor and will be right back then she goes out side. after she comes back in she says she has to inspect one more thing, she has to document the bruises on my daughters neck,shoulders and back.i should mention she insisted on seeing the bruises because the original report specifically stated shoulder neck and back bruises and she had to verify them. uhh but there are not any so i leave the room and go outside while the lady has my child take off her shirt and show her there are no bruises. after i come back in the lady concludes to us that all the bruises are superficial play injuries and not to be concerned about it she then insists that i sign some paper work about some medical history and then leaves. some one at this YMCA falsified abuse evidence for a reason i cant imagine and ill tell you I'm not the first. so if you decide to send your kid to this sub par daycare make sure you look you child over when you drop off and pick them up and note any scrapes and bruises to a concealer or you are guarantied a visit from the DCFS and CPS because these people are looking for any excuse to report you. unfortunately this is one of the only daycare in the area and for some one like myself i have no other option. if you can i implore you find some other means of child care. this place has caused our daughter my wife and myself great stress and anguish with there inability to identify play bruises i would give them less stars if i could but the rating makes you give them at least one. and for the YMCA i will be posting my story of your infractions of falsifying child abuse reports to as many forums as i can find or until my lawyer tells me to stop
