   (CNN)A Texas mom says she sent her 5-year-old son to daycare   
   with a special note inside his lunchbox: "Please tell (my son)   
   that his mommy loves him so much and I'm thinking about him."   
      
   But when the boy returned home, the lunchbox contained an   
   upsetting response: "NO! Put him on a diet + GO AWAY!"   
      
   "It took a minute to register, what I even saw and I just kept   
   re-reading it and I just stood there for a minute," the mother,   
   Francesca Easdon, told CNN affiliate KTRK.   
      
   Easdon said in a Facebook post that her son, Kyler, is a picky   
   eater, so she's introduced him to healthy options in his   
   lunchbox and wanted to "make him smile" at lunch.   
      
   "For the record, I feel that Kyler is absolutely perfect the way   
   he is, I'm just helping him make healthier choices," Easdon said   
   in her post. "Instead of his school being supportive I am in   
   absolute shock at what happened."   
      
   An employee at the Rocking Horse Day Care in Kingwood, where the   
   incident took place, admitted to writing the note and was fired,   
   Easdon said. CNN could not independently confirm the employee's   
   status.   
      
   CNN contacted the daycare facility for comment and was referred   
   to Jacques Verron, who was identified by the facility as an   
   employee.   
      
   Asked if the staff member who wrote the note was fired, Verron   
   scoffed and repeated the reporter's questions, then said he   
   wouldn't confirm the employee was in fact fired because he was   
   worried he would be sued.   
      
   He pointed CNN to other media outlets that had reported the   
   firing.   
      
   Francesca Easdon wrote on Facebook that the daycare has showed   
   "zero remorse for their actions."   
      
   "I am disgusted that I put my trust in these people to care for   
   my child and this is what I get in return."
