She is negligent and very irresponsible 
I personally would report her to anyone i could the city state child protective services animal control as well as every parent! She has no business running a daycare period she is putting those children safety at risk everyday she is supposed to be in charge of protecting them not intentionally harming them she should lose her license period

Someone needs to tell how you would you feel if that were your kid and no one told you what was going on but witnessed it daily and said nothing I would be pissedā¦if she cares more about her dog having free roam of the house then her daycare need to be shut down ASAP cuz this is completely 100% unacceptable

Um who gives a shit about her business and livelihood, because she clearly doesnt, she needs to be reported and her daycare needs to be closed down. If her dog attacks a child and that child is severely injured or worse, how could you live with yourself knowing you knew about her dog.
Call licensing on her
What would you like the person to do if you would be a parent of a kid? Of course tell and ASAP, it doesnāt matter if it is your MIL or a stranger. Safety firstā¦
I have to assume she is not livensed to be an in home daycare provider. There are very specific requirements for dogs.

Tell the parents or tell the Mother-in-law if she does not keep the dog separate from the kids you are going to turn her in but do something before it is too late and one of them gets seriously hurt

Report it or tell the parents. By law she is supposed to note any incidents while the child is in her care/facility. They are to be documented in detail and a copy is to be given to the parent/guardian for them to sign stating they were made aware and a copy for the parent to keep. If this was happening with another child like biting, hitting and so one they would be written up each time and after so many write up they lose their spotā¦ she can lose her license or accreditation. Report it for the safety of the kids.

Look at it this wayā¦.if (God forbid) a child is hurt or killed by this dog and a parent sues, it will come to light that you knew but did nothing, you will be held accountable as well, as you should if you donāt do anything about it. You are allowing children to be hurt and possibly scarred for life because you are thinking with your heart. The fact that youāve witnessed this dog nip, growl and bite BABIES WHO CANT DEFEND THEMSELVES and have done nothing makes you just as bad as your fool of a MIL. Iāll tell you what, message me the name of the business. I canāt believe you havenāt done anything about it yet, one time is too many and youāve sat there and watch it several times. Awful peopleā¦.both of you

What happens when that dog kills a child? Will you think about telling parents then?
Maybe not maul to death but a kid bleeds out, a bite gets infected. Thousands of things can happen and you seem to not care. And you take your children back even after seeing the dog bite!!!

Ummmā¦ If other children weāre actually being bit the parents would know and it would have been reported. So that is a huge hole In Your story that makes it sound like you just want an excuse to get someone in trouble.
If all this kids are getting hurt like you say, there is just no way any other parent doesnāt know.
Iād call Human Resources and report it that way.
Yes tell them he could kill one of those kids one day
Your MIL is one bite away from losing her business and her home. Having a liability like that on the premises should actually make her uninsurable. As the owner of if a doggy daycare, I do not allow anyone outside our lobby even with our policy of no aggressive dogs. It is incumbent on you or your husband to make your MIL see what a huge problem this is and you should not sweep this under the rug. If she insists that it is the ādogās homeā then she should not be doing business in it.

I would tell her if she doesnāt find a solution to keep the dog away from the children, such as a kennel during the day or keeping the dog in another room (using baby gates or keeping the dog behind a closed door, etc) that you will contact the parents and let them know whatās going on. If she still fails to protect the children by keeping her dog away from them then contact the parents. They absolutely need to know whatās going on. That dog is going to end up seriously hurting one one of those babies and shes gonna have a major lawsuit on her hands and be forced to put her dog down. Tell her to think about that.

Tell the other parents. At this point itās more of a safety and morality issue than trying to keep the peace with your obvious neglectful MIL. She does not need to be in charge of children if she is allowing them to be in harms way. If I found out my kid was bitten by a dog while in the custody of a so-called ādaycareā, best believe Iām suing tf out of them.
Please tell the parents . I would also report her. If she has a problem and it ruins your relationship so be it. I would also be calling animal services and reporting the dog . One wrong move and there will be a child seriously hurt and you may be liable too as you knew it was happening and didnāt say anything
Iād be pissed at you as well if you know and donāt say something. JS. I know the label of MIL makes it harder BUT as a mother you already know what you should do, and youāre not doing it. I hope that group text gets sent out like NOW.
Report it! She seriously justified this dog biting a 20 month old!?!? She is SICK and should NOT be in charge of care for children! Please please please report! If she is licensed by the state, I would start there. This is disturbing on so many levels.

Would you want you child to be in a situation where they were not being protected? If the answer is no then you already know what to do.
I would 100% ruin her business. Send a message to the whole group in the chat. Not just the one parent of the most recent child. You can also report that to cps and bbb cause she knows the dog is child aggressive and runs a business out of her home where she insists on keeping it in the room with kids. And sheās not notifying the parents of said children of the incident. Iād wonder what else she isnāt telling them too.

You have talked to her and warned her. I would absolutely tell the other parents and report it.
Wheelers are " nippers". It is the way they herd cattle and sheep. It is more of a pinch than a bite but they will always see the kids as ālivestockā. The dog should be separated during business hours. Can your husband speak with her? You have to know your relationship with this family will never be the same. Maybe tell One or two moms and let them continue if they want before ruining you mils entire business.
I like dogs, but I donāt like any animal enough to justify it hurting a child (unless child hurt it first)ā¦I kept my own kid away from people who wouldnāt put their aggressive animals away while visiting and they didnāt visit us for years. I sure as heck wouldnāt risk another kids well-being.
My husband was 2 and had to have stitches in his face (dog tooth almost hit his eye) by a LABRADOR! It was unprovoked. He was sitting playing with toys across the room and the dog walked over and snapped him in the face.
Collies are KNOWN for being snippy and if I knew about it, Iād be telling parents. Screw your MIL, those parents are trusting that she will love and care for those kids while theyāre awayā¦sheās not, so she doesnāt deserve that business.
Tell you what I would want to know if my child was being snapped at send the message before a child gets seriously hurt she shouldnāt be in that profession.
That really isnāt a question at all. PROTECT THE DAMN BABIES !!! THATS CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. Yelling at a damn baby. Iād be instantly calling the cops because Iām not going to get taken from my kid for beating a bitch up. Theyre trust her with their children and this is happening ? Do something about it or youāre every bit responsible for this too.
Stoof the relationship call and get her sorted thatās disgusting!
Iād call the state,myself. 
Someone has to act to ensure safety for the kids!
So you are leaving your kids there knowing that her dog bites kids, or did I miss something?
She messed with her own business the moment she allowed the dog to do that, I also feel like you have as your not telling them either, that poor childās parents deserves to know that he was bit by a dog, and they have absolutely every right to know too. You should be taking this further not to here, authorities need to know as these kids are clearly in danger when they are there with the dog. MIL either needs to re-home the dog or give up her business, you and her are keeping/leaving those poor defenceless kids in danger of a dog! Speak up now before one of the kids truly does get hurt

Destroy that relationship with your mom. That dog can kill a small child one day. One day it wonāt just bite or snip and full on attack. Tell those kids and report the dog to the animal shelter.

This touches me deeply very much. My own dog bit me and mangled my hands. I now suffer scars and a couple missing fingers, limited movement, severe nerve damage and terrible PTSD and depression. Your MIL should take heed that a dog can have a bad day too. Iām grateful it wasnāt my face. I would sit down with her and explain what could happen. I know she knows but just let her know you have her back but will take the proper steps if she doesnt take the proper precautions. I still have dogs. I couldnāt imagine my life without one but I will never get back what I had. You can even use me as an example. She need visuals. I can send pictures. I would hate for a child to have to go thru the pain I deal with every second of my life.

She shouldnāt have a business. Like why is the dog allowed around the kidsā¦ what if one had allergies and is it even part of regulations. Make parents aware and report to authorities! I wonder if the 20 month old did that to the dog because they were scared or if the child was doing that why not intervene earlier if you know your dog will bite. But at the end of the day should not be around kids if unsafe. She also sounds like a scary teacher/caretake too.

Iād tell one parent and let her report it.
I get why you are hesitant but you canāt be. You have given your MIL ample time to do something to remove the risk to the children in her care and she refuses to even acknowledge the danger which only makes this more dangerous.
Ask yourself- with the knowledge you have, when a baby is seriously mauled (or worse), how will you feel? While you might not be legally responsible, donāt you have a moral responsibility to protect these innocent kids who donāt have a voice?
If you are concerned about the fallout in your family (donāt know where hubs falls in on this topic) call the daycare licensing board and make an anonymous report. You can also make an anonymous report to CPS. Iām sure MIL will likely guess who made the report since you have raised the issue but being anonymous can give you some plausible deniability.
Bottom line- you have NO CHOICE but to report this before a child is seriously injured (or worse). You are clearly more concerned about MILās ābusinessā than she is so put that behind you

No offence buuuuuttt if you feel the safety of the children are in jeopardy why are you asking us? I wouldnāt hesitate to call the other parents and let them know
I would definitely report it and tell all of the parents that their kids are around a dog who has a problem of nipping/ ļæ¼ biting. At the end of the day if one of the parents found out what happened or saw the dog bite a child they could have the dog put to sleep. And Iām sure nobody wants that. Or if a child got seriously injured the parents could sue.ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼
Iād personally stay out of it. Arenāt there marks in the children from bites? Wouldnāt their parents see them. Thatās old enough to at least say say the dog hurt me at 20 months.
Id be reporting her social who what ever the people are who make sure children are safe at day cares, shes endangering all those children the parents shpuld no what if god forbid a child is serously injured by this dog
