I've called the police at least 5 times because of this kind of thing. Better to be safe than sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087067 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:57:30 +0000 DillonLion 2087067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: yeah I mean it wasn't like the mom was going to say "Yep, I'm aware, but I am okay with it." But I'm glad the director was willing to call them out on it right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087057 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:56:06 +0000 avivoca 2087057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have said something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087047 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:53:27 +0000 catomd00 2087047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would notify the police and file a report with CPS and let them follow up. If they have a drinking problem they aren't going to admit it to the daycare director! This isn't just the childs life that is in danger, but everyone else on the road! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087039 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:52:42 +0000 psw27 2087039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I mean, I have picked my husband up from a bachelor party in Vegas and he didn't smell like booze 18 hours later... there is just no way. I mean, like I said unless he was literally black out drunk until 5 or 6 in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087028 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:51:03 +0000 DillonLion 2087028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: that's what I thought. Unless there was a spill in the car why would the dad still smell like liquor almost 24 hours later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087008 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:47:13 +0000 psw27 2087008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. I guess I would have said something to the director, as you did... but I would have considered the police as well. I'm sorry but there is a 0% chance that someone smells like booze from the night before at pick up time (assuming it was in the afternoon and/or evening?!). If she smelled that strongly of alcohol 12-18 hours later she must have been blackout drunk.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2087006 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:46:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2087006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have told the director - just like you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-have-said-something-1#post-2086997 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:44:18 +0000 DillonLion 2086997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we picked up LO yesterday, we both separately noticed another parent who picked up their child smelling strongly of liquor. Their behavior and driving also appeared to be in line with someone who was drunk. They put their kid in the back seat and drove away.</p> <p>What would you have done in this situation? Notified the school? Call the police? Nothing?</p> <p>We notified the school. This morning the director told me the mom said the smell was from the night before and the dad behaves differently because he is disabled. </p>
