(ID) Wife is getting attacked by child at the day care she works at
My wife works at a daycare and has been having issues with a new kid. The kid comes from foster family and has a history of abuse. He has so far hit, slapped, scratched and just acts out in violent ways towards her, the other kids and other teachers. He has been sent home in the middle of the day 3 or 4 times now but they let him come back the next day. My wife just had a talk to one of directors and they refuse to remove the child because they want to help him. Do my wife's employers have any responsibility for her safety?

How old is the child? A 6 year old doing it is much different than a 2 year old.
Ahh that is pretty relevant. He is 4.
Okay, at that age they should know better.
She needs to document each instance; especially if it causes an injury. Contact the parents and administrators every time. After the 5th time of getting called at work, the parents are going to be annoyed enough to try something new, or to find a new program.
Does the school have a specificly assigned counseler; or a special education room? It sounds like a transfer to a room with a lower student ratio would be helpful.
