As a native Floridian and a father of one son, if I ever heard of his nanny doing anything to him remotely like what is spoken here. I would be behind bars very shortly.Homeschooling is looking very very likely.

What do yout think? Reno doesn't dare mention kids in her campaign...but it seems others are willing to come on out and do a hatchet job on this and Jeb.

Well, MFH, I hope that you would make sure that what you heard was indeed true before taking action.

Florida sounds like a bad place for kids unfortunate to have slutty mothers and deadbeat, no-show fathers.

Is Florida Bad for Kids?

It turned out that way for this kid.

If Janet Reno is in Florida, no child is safe.

Jones, 27, was supposed to check on Alfredo and Rheyna that same day in response to reports from neighbors of abuse that had left the children with welts and bruises. She never went, perhaps because she had been on the job less than a year, was eight months pregnant and was overwhelmed by a case load of 50 children on a $28,000 salary.

So if they paid her more the results would have been different?

Here is what I don't understand: 8 hour day, 20 days work/month. If they visit the kid every month, that leaves 50/20 = 2.5 hours for each visit, including drive time. Is that really being overworked? Do they really spend more than 15-20 minutes at each place? Even allowing for time spent on paperwork, is this really a heavy load for someone who is organized?
