[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one should fool themsleves about the screening done by the AP companies, its not a FBI background check with site visits and extensive interviews. And who cares if it is done by independent contractors? So frustrating that someone would seek to solve a problem by creating bigger problems. If you are suing one of the agencies you are wasting time and money - have you read your contract? Surely all you can recover is the fee you paid and is that really worth the trouble?[/quote] OP here. Yes, yes it is. Separate issue from the screening one the lawyer is asking about. I'm not overly interested in a class action suit. Host families are this mixed group of people where most know that the system is broken and companies are making tons of profit off of bad contracts and bad screening, but they don't want anything to change because they are getting childcare for less than a nanny. I won't say it's "cheap" but between LCCs, companies, aupairs and host families, it's a co-dependent scenario. [/quote]
