Please start documenting this child. In writing. Not to minimize your current scare, but I'm personally more scared by your new comment that she changed her story. A child who has that inclination can get a provider is more trouble than you can ever dig out of. Document that you talked to the parents about incidents like this.
And about today, be careful how you talk to parents. Make sure they know you were in control, but the child took off. You could easily end up with a complaint about this if the parents turned on you. Cover yourself.
I really have no worries about this with the parents. None at all. Not to sound naive. They are neighbors to my parents, I have known them for years, before the kids. The dad picked up and hugged me and told me I was wonderful and that she is just hard and that they have nothing but the ut-most confidence in me. And a few minutes ago, mom dropped by with a bottle of my favorite wine, and told me that they loved me and appreciate me. I cried. They really are sweet, and we really are on the same page!!
