Do it anonymously and tell them the name of the former employer. CPS will ocntact the former employer for information, and in that way they will also be informed of her behavior towards their children. This ought to prevent them from giving a good reference should anybody call.<BR/>You might also give a few names of potential witnesses who you feel can verify your story. But don't tell even these ptential witnesses that you have called...even if they ask you after they have been interviewed. (They may suspect you because you made the petition, but just act as surprised at the next person that somebody actually called to report her.) Pretend to know nothing about it. You want to leave no trace that it was you that reported her in case this legal crap comes up. Just let them wonder to themselves who reported her and gave their names as witnesses. <BR/><BR/>Go to the library and log in on a computer under a fictitious name and flag all of her posts that you can find as an abusive caregiver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-37116583412569078332008-06-17T22:41:00.000-04:002008-06-17T22:41:00.000-04:00I agree--I would be very careful about intervening...I agree--I would be very careful about intervening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-26377473648086688832008-06-17T21:27:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:27:00.000-04:00I have to agree with anon @6:27.

I realize OP has the children's interests in mind, but it is true that legal trouble could follow. <BR/><BR/>I would personally not interfere with this woman's job search. Flagging her post as spam is fine: that is within your right. However, I would not do anything other than that, with a petition or whatnot. Sounds like she is a crappy nanny, true, but anything you have to say is technically hearsay, nothing more. <BR/>Just my two cents!UmassSlytherinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647516080217006351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-65402009968608985992008-06-17T18:45:00.000-04:002008-06-17T18:45:00.000-04:00Flagging the post sounds like a good idea to me.Yo...Flagging the post sounds like a good idea to me.<BR/><BR/>You are most likely completely right about giving a bad reference. If they can however tell her other employers, they can hit back with a 'im sorry i can't provide a reference for her".<BR/><BR/>See if you can sue someone for providing a bad reference id sue someone for giving me a "good" one and putting my child in danger.<BR/><BR/>If my nanny EVER does something like that I will fire her. File a police report and not provide a reference. Any background check will bring up her history to future employers and that does a lot more than just a poor reference.Marissa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09670316761454871953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-48729586254440473652008-06-17T18:27:00.000-04:002008-06-17T18:27:00.000-04:00Yaya, Marissa and OP..Just some advice.Not sure wh...Yaya, Marissa and OP..<BR/><BR/>Just some advice.<BR/>Not sure what states you all live in ,but in many, it is ilegal to interefere with someone obtaining a job.(someone's right to work and support themseleves and family)<BR/><BR/>The OP needs to be very careful as her attempt to do good may come back in the form of a lawsuit.<BR/><BR/>Just as a former landlord cannot legally give a bad reference ,nor can a previous employer. They can by law simply state, "I am unable to give a reference for so & so at this time."<BR/><BR/>Getting a petition signed and handing it over may prove to be a very bad idea and bad advice.<BR/><BR/>As I said, I am not sure of the laws specific to the state you may be in.<BR/>I am sure many people actually do give bad references. How many get caught or sued?? I don't know!<BR/><BR/>Just a heads up.<BR/><BR/>And if you continue to flag her posts as suggested and she files a suit and they trace it to you, you may be held accountable..again..not sure.<BR/><BR/>A similar situation happened here locally.( an inhome care provider for the elderly)She was mean and very, very harsh but not what the law would consider abusive( just as your nanny sounds) and several neighbors signed a petition..kept her from working for almost a year.She sued and was awarded an entire years pay from the neighbor who started the petition.<BR/>Be careful. If you feel she was abusive contact the law or local CPS to see if they can handle the situation. let them investigate and let them act on keeping her from working.She will no doubt be easy to find if you know where she is listing her posts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
