In my opinion, I think that releases the parent from any contractual agreement to pay for or give a 4 week notice.
I think the parent still has the right to remove her child from somewhere she no longer trusted as a safe environment and in those circumstances should not be forced to pay for services she couldn't realistically use.
NO ONE in in there right mind would leave their child somewhere they thought was a safety risk.
I totally agree with you! I would be furious if I was the OP.
I always make sure I get a parent's permission before I ever transport anyone and in most cases, they even provide their own car seats.
I also feel the contract was broken, when she failed to get permission and transported this child knowing the mom had not approved of it. I totally understand her issues with this and do not think she owes the provider anything!
This was not a good fit all the way around.
