I guess the question is why aren't they speaking with the kids mother (or primary care taker and residence operator) rather than you?
It seems like an attempt to milk you for your money for your ex. . . . (wooh he just bought this. . . Take him to court to get more money)
(cynical me)
Because my ex wasnt answering her phone. She said it was my thing since i have weekdays off most times. But after today they have to go through her for all of that or she needs to add me as primary care giver on the account
So your ex is just as crazy as all Ex's are, and trying to act predatory against you. . .

So she doesn't do what is required and they don't care, but if you don't do what isn't required, they take action? Seriously, this is when lawyers step in. I'd be all over them for discrimination in a flash. They have legal responsibilities that they are shirking and are taking advantage of their position to basically threaten you.

I was the only parent they saw at the time that week. She doesnt do what is required and they tell me about it basically. yeah, its great. I get to deal with all of the adult stuff basically because she wont.

I have to agree with @scottalanmiller here, if she isn't answering her phone that could be considered abandonment of the child. So why aren't they calling CPS on her, and bringing the child to the responsible parent who is answering the phone?
"Because she wasn't answering her phone" doesn't mean you kidnapped her, and have her locked up in your basement. So why "stop-in" and see what's up?!

And? Who they "see" doesn't determine the law. They can't have it both ways. If that logic was legal, you'd be sole guardian instantly as the only parent that they saw.

So then document all of it, bring it to your lawyer and fight the custody battle. If you are the responsible adult, you should have the kid, and get paid child support etc.

My sons Daycare teachers just arrived for a home visit! this should be fun
Sounds weird, why would a daycare teacher show up at your residence. Is this like CPS or something?
Yearly home visits are standard practice in Japan.
And Omaha Ne ask well. Its one of their stipulations to my son being enrolled at their school.
Holy crap - what school is that?
Educare Kellom. Its state funded- thats their authority, they told me if they dont he gets kicked out.
Sure, you send your kid there, they get those choices. You always have the choice of sending your kid to another daycare.
I'm sure price is a factor in this decision.
Sadly this is very true - so it's what I consider another non constitutional form of search.
I don't follow. You are "buying" a service, as part of that payment they require that you get a visit from a teacher on a yearly basis. It was agreed to by the customer. Not sure I see any issues with this as it is an agreement between two parties.
That's not quite true in this case. This is the government providing a service and adding stipulations that aren't necessarily appropriate for the government to be adding. It's a bit of a grey area. Can the government forcibly search your home? No. Can they do it if you use their daycare? What if you use their roads, or water?
Exactly. They are exerting control over you that they don't really have the authority to do so.
Did you check the laws on that? How do you know they do not have this authority. You are injecting things that may or may not be true based on your personal bias.
You have me there - the state might have granted itself this authority through the use of it's programs - that's the part that seems at minimum unethical.

@wrcombs If you are receiving a subsidy from the state, there are bound to be requirements to receive the subsidy. This is one such requirement.
You are receiving low cost daycare, a requirement to that is an annual household checkup.
I get it, and don't disagree with there being stipulations on it. It makes sense to me, to ensure that the child is in a safe home etc.
Of course, I'm sure that these checkups then could evolve into CPS visits etc. But if it's not CPS, but a daycare provider. . . I guess I don't see why bother?
Why make the daycare provider (teacher) perform the check-in. Why wouldn't a CPS rep do this? I guess because you know the teacher, and no a random stranger from CPS. . .
Because they dont want to waste city services on something as simple as a home visit ( @Dashrender allow me to clarify - its more of a parent - teacher conference but in the comfort of your own home.
IF they had to do a full home sweep CPS would be called ( im sure) but that has hardly happened ( never for me )What a complete waste of time - so now you're telling us that the government is paying that person to drive to your home and all those associated costs so you can have an parent teacher conference, when you could simply stay at the school a bit longer when you pickup your child one day. /sigh.

basically - they had my number for emergency contacts i.e if he was sick at school or such i had to pick him up. but she's the 'main' on the account- making her number the first one they call in the event of things not being done such as a home visit-
I didnt get a call about it - i was told last week that it had to be done, or else he couldnt go back at all, so i just did what i had to do to keep him enrolled.
Now they have my number as a secondary contact in case she doesnt answer. and she know that now. -

I'm not necessarily opposed to home visits. But personally, my feeling is that they should either be universal (every home, all the time) or should be blocked until there is reason to inspect. Not using low cost services as an excuse to use income disparity or social need as an excuse to inspect some people and not others (or some people with kids and not others.)
This becomes a form of discrimination. In the US we often accept discrimination based on income, but that's really not very sensible. And income is often tied to other factors, so it is automatically a proxy for those other factors.
my point exactly!

@wrcombs If you are receiving a subsidy from the state, there are bound to be requirements to receive the subsidy. This is one such requirement.
You are receiving low cost daycare, a requirement to that is an annual household checkup.
I get it, and don't disagree with there being stipulations on it. It makes sense to me, to ensure that the child is in a safe home etc.
Of course, I'm sure that these checkups then could evolve into CPS visits etc. But if it's not CPS, but a daycare provider. . . I guess I don't see why bother?
Why make the daycare provider (teacher) perform the check-in. Why wouldn't a CPS rep do this? I guess because you know the teacher, and no a random stranger from CPS. . .
Because they dont want to waste city services on something as simple as a home visit ( @Dashrender allow me to clarify - its more of a parent - teacher conference but in the comfort of your own home.
IF they had to do a full home sweep CPS would be called ( im sure) but that has hardly happened ( never for me )What a complete waste of time - so now you're telling us that the government is paying that person to drive to your home and all those associated costs so you can have an parent teacher conference, when you could simply stay at the school a bit longer when you pickup your child one day. /sigh.
yep. pretty much
