This makes me incredibly sad. Playfelt, I think it's amazing that you and your support group got involved and are trying to educate others. Hopefully you can get through to some parents who have children in dangerous situations who can be saved from harm.
This kind of news story is the reason I don't think anyone should ever feel afraid to report a caregiver who is obviously over their limits. Mind you, if you see someone with 7 or 8 or 9 children, then some of them are probably their own children. However, when you get over 10 children with a caregiver, there is something illegal going on. I know some people have no problem caring for 9 children but I wouldn't want to do it. I couldn't do it safely so I wouldn't do it.
9? How do they do it? I get exhausted with the 6 I have (one's mine)!
Children are great imitators.
So give them something great to imitate.
