In Massachusetts it is state law that a child care center/home/facility call parents if a scheduled child is late being dropped off. For this reason I think it’s a great regulation.

Same for me my first playthrough. I was very confused and overwhelmed and missed tons of shit. But my second playthrough is much more a love love thing.

Don’t blame domestic violence victims in child welfare cases
DCF should be guided by best practices.

But there are options that do not punish the parent who survived domestic violence.Wilfredo Lee/Associated Press It is one of the toughest challenges in the difficult field of child welfare — protecting children in homes where there is domestic violence while not punishing a non-abusive parent for being a victim.
A recent Globe story reported that in Massachusetts, advocates say the Department of Children and Families too often blames victims. The story profiled a mother, Lisa, who DCF said neglected her child — a finding that hurt her ability to get a job — because she fled to a next-door apartment when her partner tried to attack her, briefly leaving her sleeping baby alone.
While DCF’s first obligation is to protect the child, there are options that do not punish a parent who survived domestic violence. Studies show one of the best ways to ensure a child’s resilience in a home with domestic violence is to ensure they have a strong positive bond with the non-offending parent. DCF’s policies should reflect that goal, and the agency should work to strengthen, not sever, the bond between a child and a non-abusive parent.
Anyone rocking sandy-sounding knees when going up stairs or just me?! 😩
If your car doesn’t have this, you can put one of the shoes you’re wearing in the back seat with the child… You will not walk away with one shoe.
