A 32-year-old mother of three was billing the state of Wisconsin for kids not in her care, providing false information and otherwise defrauding the system for more than a decade. She got a great house, a Jaguar and a fantastic lifestyle out of it all. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

Hey, that's similar to what one of my neighbors did. She got shipped up the river, then her meth-addicted son moved in and started robbing the neighbors' houses and manufacturing meth before he got busted.
And she's supposed to be getting out of prison this week.....dammit!

$88K for a van-driving job??? WTF? I'm in the wrong line of business!

Wow!. Glad I don't live there. Anyone can work in a daycare even a sex offender. Her boyfriend was making $88,000 driving a bus for a daycare! How does that work. Since when do daycares even have buses? Where are the kids going they need a full time bus driver?
We are all in wrong line of business.

Tamaya, I know several daycares that have buses.

A lot of day care facilities have buses to deliver/pick kids up from school. If you don't have an adult at home during the day (i.e. both parents work), it is a very important feature, and parents will pay extra for it.

The article was just too darn long.....so, is this POS going to jail or not? Put her on a freaking rockpile for the rest of her pathetic life. What a complete and utter turd......it's people like this that let me know that, no matter what I do, there are plenty of people in line in front of me to get to the gates of hell.

Put the 'investigator' on the pile next to her. "It takes a huge amount of time," she said of making a criminal referral. "It's overwhelming." Well boo hoo! So does scamming the taxpayers out of millions. Wait, that is exactly what you are doing when you don't prosecute these crooks.
