Boys & Girls Clubs of South San Luis Obispo County

"Since they took over Bright Futures, I've seen nothing but chaos; my kids/grandkids have to ASK to do homework and if my kids don't have supplies, none are offered. Before, they were told it was homework time, were given tubs of homework supplies, help was offered, homework checked. Last week, my daughter picked up her daughter andmine. Both 7. Not a teacher was in in sight. My 12 year old witnessed the event, seeing nobody around. My daughter, who is an approved pickup person, had to leave, should have waited, didn't. But she left with the girls. Nearly TWO HOURS LATER first contact is made with my husband, who normally gets them. The excuse was another teacher was signing out another kid. It was repeated multiple times by staff. Husband asked why, two HOURS LATER, he was just hearing about it. Next day, story from staff changed into the girls talking back and not following directions and they wanted my husband to sign a referral indicating the same. He didn't because it was bs and they were attempting to cover up the TWO HOURS NOBODY made contact. My girls don't talk back, either. They constantly get good behavior awards. Whatever they're trying to do doesn't change that for 2 hours they said absolutely nothing. If a teacher were around, they'd have made my daughter sign them out. If my girls really did talk back and run off like the referral says, the teacher would have responsibly run after. She didn't. So in a way, the referral only makes BG look WORSE in that they would have seen them run off and had done nothing to stop it. It was the first time my daughter went to pick up early, too. Don't trust these people with the safety of your child, don't expect them to assist with homework, don't expect them to run Bright Futures orderly, and don't expect them to even care because they'll try to turn it around and lie, anyway. Thank goodness calls are recorded. After I post this, I'm contacting The Tribune and news stations"
