TOP ANSWERS (AS SELECTED BY MODERATOR):
The following top answers have been selected by a moderator from hundreds of responses to the original question.
“Report it. Isn’t cool and if someone’s baby gets mauled you’ll be to blame as well bc you didn’t say anything. Stop taking your kids over there. Border collies are normally very good pets so this animal is a result of her BS.”
“Yes because I don’t believe the day care provider is going to be honest with the parents and as a parent i would want to know where the marks are coming from so I can make a decision of what I would do next which would be taking my child out of their care because yes that’s the daycare providers home but that provider has to make their home safe and she’s not creating a safe environment for my child.”
“Tell them! You’re worried about messing with her money but what about the kids! There shouldn’t be a question about telling the parents.”
“Parents haven’t noticed marks of dog bites on their kids? Something doesn’t sound right.”
“Yes absolutely as a parent I’d want to know. You trust this person to life and care and protect your child as you would and finding out they aren’t. I’d actually remove my kids from a home where they were potentially getting bit by a dog and it even cared about.”
“Tell them. Border collies are herders. Sometimes they tend to try and herd kids as well and nip like they would do sheep or whatever other animal they’re herding.”
“If you had to write this I’m pretty sure you know what you have to do.”
“I would give her the opportunity to tell the parents and change the environment ASAP. If she refuses then I would tell the parents 100% and let her know you are telling them. The longer you wait the worse it will be for both of you IMO.”
