Technically, it's attempted abduction. That's pretty serious.

Your daycare provider did an awesome job. If I were her, I'd be worried about the safety of other children, and after hearing from you (and realizing this wasn't just a miscommunication or mis-guided relative), I'd probably call the police too. I would be worried for the safety of the other children in my care. It only takes a second for a child to disappear.

I agree with what the above poster said...I would call the police and file a compliant that way if they would get another call about another child she would have a red flag!! Thank God your provider done her job right...We never know when we will come across someone "crazy"
