Fired for doing it on the employer’s time and property.
I’d’ve fired the employee, too.
If the employee had a concern about the kid’s safety, well-being then the employee reports the parent to the cops and/or CPS.
Preferably after talking to management first.
BTW, I wouldn’t have fired the employee for reporting the parent to CPS and/or the cops.
I wouldn’t.
Letting mentally ill people silence the reality is stuy.
