To me this seems like an innocent mistake and a mom who sees it as a way to make a few quick dollars. She is likely one of those people who demands free food if her order gets mixed up at a restaurant.

Is she going to sue you? Likely no. That would cost money and really, what kind of damages could she hope to get? She would have to put her kid on the stand and prove that getting these calls damaged her and, as you said, it was a mistake. You didn't do it on purpose.

People who are going to sue normally just do it, they don't threaten you with it.

I would be tempted to ask her how much she thinks is fair compensation. When she sends you a number you get a lawyer to send her a letter via certified mail basically telling her to stop trying to blackmail you and explain that you have fixed the mistake, but you aren't paying her. Tell her if she if she continues to attempt to extort you that you will turn her into the authorities. She will shit her pants.
