Here's the situation... I have a toddler that has been having some biting issues. Not too bad at daycare but at home has been biting baby sibling and the parents. Parents said dr has said to bite child back to break the biting. I know this is true because my dr told me the ssame thing. I didn't do it but she did say to do that.

Anyway, they have left a bruise on her. This is the 2nd time! I'm in such a bind but am a mandated reporter. I know the parents are good people. They are neighbors. They are new parents and they have two kiddos and their ages are very close together. WOuld you talk to parents about it first before calling CPS? WOuld you call CPS anonymously? Or would you just talk to the parents and call CPS if they did it again?

I am so torn and know that I will probably lose both kids from this but will probably lose sleep if I don't do something. Not to mention I don't want to get into any trouble.
Anyone experienced this? How did it turn out and what advice do you have for me?
