"It was not immediately known if the daycare was licensed. A search on the state's website did not show a license issued for Happy Happy Daycare in San Jose."

Okay and as a parent wouldn't you first look to see if they're licensed?

People who send their kids to unlicensed day cares are people who need to work and don't have options

This. Too many parents are in the position of choosing potentially risky childcare situations vs. not being able to work to feed and house their kids. It’s a gamble either way and frankly atrocious in a country as rich as America.

Or maybe the choice to not have kids you can't afford. That's another choice often overlooked.

I generally think this argument is ridiculous, but also, abortion politics in the US is driven on removing that choice. So you’re really arguing for abstinence for a whole lot of people, regardless of marital status. So much regressive thinking here it’s hard to pick it apart.

Ok. More dead kids then.

Idiotic response.

How so? I think dead fetuses are better than dead children born to neglectful, abusive, ignorant parents.

You are VERY likely coming from a different perspective from the people who attended this daycare. "What were they thinking"? They are thinking I have to work to pay for rent and I have no one else to watch my children. They don't have time or resources to look for other options. Stop shaming.

Oh stop it! I'm not shaming anyone! There are plenty of options that are licensed, and BTW this facility WAS indeed licensed! This was a huge failure on the part of the state, the licensees, and yes the parents too. I don't understand what seems to be a certain level of forgiveness here based on their assumed level of income. There's negligence all around on this one.

According to the Department of Social Services, the home daycare center was licensed in Jan. of 2021 to two women whose names are not being released at this time. The state has conducted a total of eight visits including inspections since then. The purpose of one visit was to discuss the pool.
In 2020, one state analyst wrote:"There is a pool that is fully fenced within the back yard. The fence is at least five feet high and is constructed so that the fence does not obscure the pool from view. The fence is made from a hard mesh material. The gate swings away from the pool, self-closes and has a self-latching device, located no more than six inches from the top of the gate. The gap between the fence and the floor is less than one inch."

It goes on and on....

It might not be. I have a pool and no fence. It’s not required where I live. The entire backyard is walled in and doors have to close automatically but it doesn’t have to have a fence per city code. I don’t have small kids so we didn’t put a fence in. Not uncommon where I live.
