When a child is termed from another provider it doesn't always mean they will be that way in your program.

Since the mom brought it up, she apparently believes the situation has been corrected and she doesn't appear to be trying to hide it or she wouldn't have said it....kwim?

Personally, I would not worry about what did or didn't happen with the previous provider and only worry about YOUR ability to work with this family.

Do a two week trial period and then make your decision.

The environment plays such a HUGE role in a child's behavior that you can't hang a past behavior on a child permanently when they are now in a different environment.

I'd give them a chance.

Terming is always an option AFTER you have saw/seen for yourself whether or not this child is going to have issues.
