Absolutely you must remain professional.  And I agree that you should document, document, document.  And bring this behavior to the attention of your boss.

However, to look at the other side of the coin... perhaps this woman has reason to be nervous about her child's safety.  There could be an ex-husband or boyfriend who has threatened her or her child.  Perhaps she knows someone whose child was attacked or kidnapped.  Maybe she's not handling it in the best manner, but if that is the case one could hardly blame her for being overprotective.  Has anyone tried to speak with her about her fears and find out if there is a basis for them?  Perhaps someone could approach her and tell her that the school is committed to protecting the safety of the children and they would appreciate it if she would let them know if there is a specific threat they need to be aware of.
