51 Child Deaths In Virginia Unlicensed Care?

[Febby]

I see illegals all the time listing on craigs list. I asked about this at a training I was at and they said exactly what you said.

they can't go out there without probable cause and they don't have the man hours to have someone investigate those type of setups.

I call baloney. they spend so much frivolous money, why can't they create a frad dept.??

They also need to consider making the consequences much more harsh than they are.

I don't see many listings on Craigslist here that look illegal (although I did see one the other day where the entire ad was "$60 a kid" with no other info...), but that may be because my state's licensing has a habit of posting ads containing the highlights of the family home regulations.

I do think that most states' penalties for running illegally unlicensed daycares are not harsh enough to adequately discourage people from deciding to run one anyway.

And I really do not see the point in any state adding additional regulations if they can't even properly enforce the ones they already have.

Craigslist here is a hotbed of illegals. If we had more than one licensing agent, it would be crazy easy to bust these people.
