Oh my god, I thought I was going to be reported to Docs two weeks ago. Anyway this is what happened. I was at bakers delight yesterday, to buy a loaf of bread with my little charge. As always my charge a toddler did not want to be carried, and wanted to explore instead, so I place the little one on the floor so she could explore all around the area in the shopping centre. She was safe only adventuring no more than 2 metres away from me. Anyway as I placed my order, a scroll for little one to eat right now and loaf of bread for the whole family, I gave my charge her scroll to eat now and paid for the purchases. I got a tap on my shoulder from a mother, who said “your child just drop this on the floor” while holding up a small piece of roll “and was about to put it in her month” while giving me this look. Well I replied” That is ok, the littlie can have it it builds up there immune system” Well that “look” turned into a look of shock horror, and she replied “Well it’s dirty and I don’t like little ones eating food off the floor” I replied “That is Ok, it doesn’t bother me, but thank-you” Well that “shock horror” look now turned into “I’m going to report you to DOCs look” Oh my god, I quickly gave my loaf of bread, my charge and headed straight back to the car, turing back making sure that the dragon wasn’t following me so she could take down my licence plate number and report me.
Oh my god I though. Anyway, told by employer all about it, just incase they get a knock of the door from the Department of Childrens Servcies. They laughed and said parents these days, don’t worry about it.
Anyway been two weeks now, haven’t got a knock on the door, must be safe.
