Other Serious
A caregiver talked negative in the presence of children in care and did not use prudent judgment when stating she was going to drop off the children at the police station if CPS did not pick up the children. The caregiver also failed to read the child's service plan which states that the child has an ADHD and ODD diagnosis. Furthermore, the caregiver may have possibly used the "F" word in front of the children.
