" are you kidding me? And what happens when the person paying YOUR bills dies? i have very small children and no daddy, not because either of us choose it! He died! what the hell am i supposed to do? and you think i am a bad mom for having a job? i am a damn good mother weather i am at home or at the job, and you need a huge reality check! just because a mother works does not make her less of a mother! it takes real skill and talent to be a full time working mother! but you do what you have to for the better of your children, and just so turns out not only do my kids need my love, they ALSO need to EAT!!!!!

" You are obviously young and I bet your attitude will be different in 20 years. What's wrong with a kid working their way through college? That's the problem with too many kids today, mom and dad hand everything to them and they have no appreciation for anything. A little hard work never killed anybody but it can build character and strength and make them a better person. "

" And I don't work to keep up with the neighbors. I work to have my own income and to be able to do things on my own without having to ask someone else for money for something that I need. I prefer to be independent instead of living on the income of my husband my entire life. "

" I work and attend school and my child goes to daycare. Why should I be a stay-at-home mom when I can go out and work and get a degree in something to make life better for my child so he doesn't have to work and go to school at the same time when he gets to college. Everyone doesn't have the option of being a stay at home parent. My son is well taken care off and he learns a lot at school and at daycare. Maybe some of the stay at home moms should get up and do something constructive instead of bad-mouthing the moms who don't. "

" Hey all you working moms that are ONLY working to keep up with the neighbors. Take heed to reality. Stay at home raise your kids. You made them now take care of them . Raise them properly, if you don't someone else will, No excuse! "

" RFID is the solution to this undeniably. Hospitals use it, and they rarely lose babies now. At intake, Every day, the RFID anklet is placed on each and every child. You cannot lock the facility at night without an alarm notifying you that there is an unaccounted for RFID tag. A simple, fairly inexpensive solution that should be mandatory at all daycare facilities that employ more than a 2:1 staff to child ratio "

" Ok grant you that all child cares are not the same but with the prices they charge people you would think that "Someone" would have notice the child in a High chair sleep is this where they let the children sleep wherever they drift off at is where you let them stay till you see the parent coming..LOL"CHARGES" shold be made and it will teach people to be more responsible then they are when it comes to someone else's life.Even if she didn't pick the child up on time isn't someone to be there until the last child is gone. Come on now if it were your child How would you handle the situation.Gladed it wasn't min is all I can say. The world is becoming a Big Melting Pot for people to do things and get a slap on the wrist til the next time they do something even greater. "

" Close down all the day care centers and tell the moms to stay home and raise their children. If I could have children I'm certain my partner would make me stay home and watch our children. "

" i would bet you dont' have kids. and if you do your the kind of parent that WOULD leave a child in a high chair. dumb, dumb, come on. THEY get paid to be sure the children of the center are SAFE at ALL times while the parent is away!! I would have to say had this been my child, there would be charges filed.... probably against me for handing someone a mouth full of act right!!! Day care is NOT cheep for a reason!! LOL gesh some ppl sure do have nerve! "

" Whether she picks her kid up on time or not, you do not leave a child alone! What kind of a comment was that? "

" She wasn't late in picking her child up. The center was closed for the day since all the children were thought to have been picked up, which happened to be earlier than the latest pick up time allowed. Charges should be filed and the owners should be prosecuted. "
