      I can't believe people could do that! That's so unethical. That's awful, I really do feel strongly that there should be criminal charges.

        I see what you mean. This provider was housing all of the potential clients.

            Wow! I have to say shame on the state for taking so long to close this place down. I am going to assume that these women were charging crazy cheap rates and so parents were closing their eyes to so many children. I know the article says the kids were moved before the doors were opened...but they couldn't keep THAT many kids quiet!

            So glad they are out of business. Shameful.

              I see in the picture that they all were sleeping with their shoes on.... I guess the two women couldn't handle keeping 80 shoes and socks straight... I have a hard time with the 8 littles I have and their socks!

              I am so glad that they are shut down, they must have been so good at talking with parents to get away with that! They probably had a script" Little Johnny colored today and shared well, ate all his homemade food, and is a joy to have here" They just said that over and over with 40 different names....jeez
              What did they feed them?

                Thats awful! She must have been making a whole lot of money doing that before she got caught! If she had my full time rate of $160 x 40 kids... that would be about $6400 a week! Crazy!
                I get overwhelmed with 8 kids here ... how would it be with 40? INSANE!

                  At first, I was thinking "sleeping in closets isn't so bad", then I noticed they didn't have mats or cots, or even a towel! The one boy has a mat, but no sheet.

                  Two babies to a crib? HOW on earth did they get 40 kids to fall asleep like that? In those positions?

                  If my child were one of those kids, i'd want him or her tested to see if she were drugged to fall asleep.

                  Weren't they all so little and adorable though???

                    That is unbelievable!! How did they hide that many kids? And how did they make them sleep like that. Didn't they feel horrible that the kids had no pillow, blanket, or mat to sleep on? Surely they had the money to buy mats!

                      my husbands first reaction was, "Man! How'd she get 40 kids all to sleep at the same time! We need tips from her" .

                      Seriously, though, that is sickening. How can 2 people care for 40 kids by themselves. I know the article said they weren't abused, but neglect is a form of abuse and I can't imagine they weren't neglected. How do you even fit 40 kids into your home comfortably? I have 4 of my own and when I babysit for my friends and add 3 more kids in the mix my home feels packed

                        I don't even know what to say. I'm just shocked.

                          I can't get past the fact that they have known about these women since 2003 and yet they weren't constantly checking on them. How many chances do they get? I'm not as concerned about them not having mats, kids have survived far worse through history, but everyone asleep or still is scary. As youretooloud said, I'd be worried about drugs or even wonder what kind of threats they made to get them still.

                          Sad, sad.

                            alot of those children look older, didn't any parent ask what was going on during the day to their kid, like what did they do or ate. I find it odd that not one parent knew what was going on. That proves how little parents care when it comes to care of their children. Didn't parents hang around and talk for a while (like mine do) Didn't any of the parents just show up to pick their kids up, surprise visits, I don't know, I do blame some of this on parents.

                              So sad to see the kids scattered on the floor like that! That can not be comfortable. They are all so close too. They had to kick each other. Sad! Not to mention theres no way she got all those kids to go to sleep at the same time, naturally anyway.

                              AND what was she feeding them? 40 kids you would need a commercial freezer at least! Not to mention a walk in pantry for all the other food, veggies etc. I doubt she was feeding them properly.

                              She had to make a fortune all at the expense of kids.
