What is the name of your state? GA

What do you do when you find out a parent is lying in order to get work?

Bio-mom gets teaching degree in 92. Gets a job in 92 or 93 at an elementary school as an assistant. Quits after 2 days. She can't get work in that county now, because the principal wrote a bad letter to the county about her.

She gets a job as a part time teacher at a tutoring center in 93. Lasts 4-6 weeks. She stops going to work, calling in sick and they tell her "Don't come back".

Fast forward to 1999. She gets a job with the same tutoring company in a different area, same state, though. On the web site she is all written up like this highly experienced teacher who has taught in public and private schools for years. It also says she has a degree in education with a math and science focus. What I just wrote is the extent of her experience and she has a degree in early childhood education - no math, science focus.

Anyway, that job lasts until May 2002 when she asks boss to cut hours, she then stops going to work. Don't know if she eventually quit or got fired.

NOW she is trying to move to our state and asking me continuously about the SAME company in this area. She even stayed an extra day after her last visit to visit some of the locations.

My husband is upset that not only is she trying again to interfere by moving here but that she is lying about her background in order to get a job. She obviously isn't going to tell these people about getting fired etc from the same company. Hubby is ticked that she is not being honest and that she should be setting a good example for her son. He's even thought about sending her a letter, with a print out of the write up on the website about her and telling her that if she gets any job in this area by lying, he'll do something about it.

He's not the type of person to ever rock the boat, but apparently this really has him angry. Just knowing what I do about her, I would hate to find out that my friend's child is being tutored by her.

This could quickly become a very sticky sitiation for all involved. I think that considering the fact that anything you do to "injur" her professionally (ie notifying companies of her less than honest resume) could be used as ammunition against YOU if other things go to court (ie issues regarding the child in ?) your best and safest course of action is to do anything you choose to do on an anonymous basis.......she will certainly know who did it but she won't be able to PROVE it was you if you keep things anonymous (eg submit letters to anyplace she does get hired stating what you know to be true about her past so that they can confront her with it or do a more thorough research of her supposed "experience")

I think from the sounds of her track record, she will likely sink herself again anyway. I would be very worried about any accusations yo umake possibly haunting you later.
