I haven't been badmouthed by the family. People that KNOW the person will KNOW why you "couldn't control" that child. 
C'mon, how long did it really take for you to see how out of control WildChild is?
Violence is one quality that you should never have to "control." Either they respond to disciplinary efforts to curb any and all violence or they don't and they have to exit your program. It's for your safety and the safety of the other children in care (whether they were big instances or not doesn't matter ... it's bullying behavior and assaulting others is never okay).
Unfortunately for me this specific child is really a very very sweet well mannered child when something isn't "off" (tired, getting sick, change in routine, etc). He was HORRIBLE the first month here, but not hitting, just pitching fits. I gave him that as an adjustment period. Since then he has fits that are progressively more aggressive over time when getting sick (mom WILL NOT admit he is EVER sick, it is always "allergies"), or when tired. Two weeks ago we started a new child and he has been "off" since then and very aggressive. - Maybe jelous, maybe wanting more attention, I don't really know why, but really it doesn't matter if I can't get it to stop!
