Judgement in trial

[kindertime]

Like everyone else here, I wish you all the luck with this horrible situation. I agree too, that this is a story that should be in the media. I can imagine how I would dread being the "poster child" for this situation but I think it needs to be brought to the public's attention.

Unlike you, though I wonder if this story will deter anyone in the future from reporting. People have been charged for not reporting, so this story, I think should highlight, if nothing else, this judge's ignorance. Anyone who looks after children knows, the first and most important thing we do is protect their health and safety.

I am curious, in your OP, you said you were closing down. Have you? Because I think that would be too bad. Yours is the kind of story we should be hearing about a home daycare. Well, sort of. This whole thing should never have happened in the first place. But what I mean is, too often the news is, "home daycare shut down by police," "kids left out in the cold," etc. You were only doing what you thought was best.

If you do decide to speak to the media, try CBC's Go Public. On their website you'll find it under "The National." This is exactly the kind of story they do. Email them gopublic@cbc.ca.
