I live in Asheville .NC I did not hear about Lily in the news but somehow found her story on Facebook. I watched the tributes and read her story and my heart is broken for everyone who loved Lily, especially her mother. I am a childcare provider and because of Lily’s story I know more what to look for when parents share custody and abuse is going on. I will never ever air on the side of giving the parent the benefit of doubt, even if it makes a parent angry or costs me business. Lily’s mommy had absolutely no recourse for the abuse she believed was going on but sometimes when a childcare provider makes a report of abuse it carries more weight. I want to help parents like her have power to stop the abuse.
