That's so sad. :(
May that bitch rot in hell.
Nothing against younger women, but I just couldn't personally trust a 22 year old with my daughter.
She went out shopping and left a stove unattended. The fire started from there. I don't know why she would run a day care center all by herself.How could she leave with a house full of toddlers?? No matter what else, you don't just leave a bunch of little kids all by themselves!

Storms believes Tata should face capital murder charges in the case.
How was woman charged in fire able to flee?

You have to wonder if she had help in fleeing to Nigeria. Now, the US Marshals is going to find her.
The parent's of these children trusted this woman to watch their kids. Not go out to the grocery store for food. Do that on your own time when the children have all been picked up for the day. Four innocent little babies are now gone due to her negligence. How these parent's can control themselves not to end that woman's life is beyond me. Or maybe I am just way too protective of my daughter.No you are not being overprotective. The fact is according to article, she had already been cited for not having a carbonmonoxide detector as well as a fire extinguisher in the center. To me that would be a red flag right there!! I wonder how many times before she had left the little ones unattended. I realize that we cannot discriminate against her age, but the state should have insisted that she should have another responsible(key word here)adult with her. Also isn't there supposed to ba a ratio of caregiver:child?

I feel bad for the parents...
Oh I discriminate against age. I can't trust a 22 year old with my toddler. No way. Ever. Not even a six year old. Young adults these days are so much different than say, 10 years ago even. I started babysitting at 13. But there were less distractions back then. That totally sounds like I am really old, but I'm not. lolYou have a point there... That is why I mentioned having another responsible adult
I'd rather not wonder if my babysitter is playing Angry Birds on Android rather than watching my daughter.
Witness' video captures Day care owner’s reaction to fatal fire
http://www.khou.com/video/featured-videos/Witness-video-captures-Day-care-owners-reaction-to-fatal-fire--117128683.html
11 minute video and shows Jessica Tata not distraught at all. If she is, she is likely faking it.
Does the video show her at the scene? If so, I'm not sure I can watch it. :(
Anyone remember some woman a couple of years ago whose house was burning down and she was worried about her purse and EBT card?
I think I remember it. Was it ever posted here?
There was a home that burned down a few years ago and the two children in the house died. The grandmother was on camera saying how glad she was that she got her purse out in time.

yeah, I remember that. I think it was in Atlanta, or Houston.
Actually, it was Memphis.

Hey! What's wrong with playing Angry Birds? That shit is awesome!
Then again, when dealing with kids, maybe not so much...
Suspect in deadly day care blaze had prior arson caseYeah i had mentioned that in another post for me, in my reply to Jess
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7453961.html
Gotta wonder how she managed to get a day care license despite having arson charges.
BIG PROBLEM here folks. The day care center may have catered to parents that could not pay $!00 a week for each kid. To put 2 kids in day care to work 2-3 jobs at minimun wage is to take 40% of the salary one brings in. So one goes to a low cost center and prays for the best.
I do not want to offend anyone here--- the problem seems to be with family's with 2-3 kids on welfare that get a job.
So we who who feel the children have a right to life now go nuts that we have to pay for them after they are born. We demand the mother or father support the kids, and get out there and work. NOW who takes care of the kids while they work????
People trying to get off welfare with kids are behind a rock and a hard place. Who can they afford to pay to watch their baby's while they work???
A real bitch any income is deducted from welfare check but the cost to watch the children is not considered. So a single mom with 2 baby's brings in $ 360 gross and after taxes perhaps $ $340 only a week and her cost to watch her kids is $150 a week. Her welfare will be cut down to match her salary but with child care she is net about $190 bucks a week.------------------------If she stays home and lives on welfare she will get minimun of $225 bucks a week and section 8 housing and food stamps.
What we think people are stupid, go to work, loose all the benefits and leave your baby's with anyone you can find. This is when tragedy comes in and lives are changed for the worse.
This is the way things were years ago--Today I do not know but I do hope they are better. Trying to work and get reliable care givers for our precious baby's is difficult regardless if you are very poor or ultra rich.
$100 a week for daycare? LMFAOMy niece decided to be a stay at home mom to her little girls. She has taken on two other small ones to help supplement her side of not having a job. It works out well for her and her husband. We (my parents, her parents)all help out when we can. i will buy the girls pj's and other clothes using my discount, if they are struggling. Each situation is different, and everone has to do what is best for them and be open to other options.
When Carleigh was in daycare, we paid $195 a week. It would have been nice to pay $100/wk though. I'd just like to say WTF to the rest of your post though.

Ps @ Jess, Carleigh is a very pretty and unique name
Thanks. I liked the name, but not the traditional spelling of Carly. So I made it Carleigh. :)It's good that you have supportive parents. Everyone struggles, and there is nothing wrong in reaching out whether recieving or giving help.
I'm working on getting an ad on Care.com for babysitting. I'm home all day, why not? It will be a small income to hold us over. And my in-laws are always sending out clothes for Carleigh. We rarely buy her any outfits these days because everyone else does it for us. We are very very thankful for the grandparent's.
