I guess if they had that nonsense here in NC, Mom would be in trouble for watching my sister's kids and making sure they get home from the bus stop (which is at the end of the street) instead of making them walk while Sis is recovering from surgery and her hubby is out of town...
No, it's for people who are watching kids that aren't related to them. Grandma would be OK.
And for the record, I think this is totally stupid. Glad to hear that they are fast tracking legislation to end this stupidity.
How much you wanna bet the reporting parent has a child who was not invited to wait for an hour inside the house?
Fwiw, they are already fast tracking legislation to change that law.
I keep thinking what lovely neighbors they must have to report them for something like that. Halloween is coming up, I'm thinking someone may want to stay up all night watching their house.![]()
***Unbelievable.
Watching someone more than 4 hours a week requires a license. Whats next requiring someone to obtain a license if their kid's friends are over your house playing for more than 4 hours a week.
Is it really 4 hours a week? Everything I saw said the limit was 4 weeks a year...it's still ridiculous either way, imo.
This really made me mad!!!
On the Today show yesterday she said she asked the Division of child services lady."What if it's raining" and the women replyed"tell there parents to get them umbrellas" Come on now.I wish I had somebody to help me in the morning for 45 to 1hour(the longest she has these kids)then maybe I could get a job.
People need to mind their own Business!!!!!!!I really hope the nose bag is happy with herself and Karma comes back to her.
I don't get the outrage?
The state tried to write a law banning unlicensed daycare. When writing the law they had define what daycare was. They did.
The definition turned out to be too broad and they are addressing it.
If they refuse to change it and throw her into jail then get outeraged.
If you have to get outraged get outraged at those who wrote the law... not those that enforce the law.
Bad/stupid laws are still laws. The authorities should not have the right to pick and choose which laws to enforce.
it absolutely makes me furious that this jerk of a state worker had the nerve to say that. She should be out of there...as should the other pencil pushers who misinterpreted and misapplied this law.
