Shame

There's an old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME."

I offer to you a News Item published today by WISN, a radio/TV station in Milwaukee, WI.:

Acting on a tip, Milwaukee police busted a child day-care center for allegedly housing guns and drugs.

Detectives said they discovered four guns, as well as an undisclosed amount of illegal drugs.

The sign out front is missing, but La Conta's Tiny Angels Daycare was still operating Thursday as Milwaukee police swept in around 7:30 a.m.

A 31-year-old man, a 19-year-old man and the 31-year-old woman who owns the center were arrested.

Two children were inside at the time, but weren't injured. They were placed in state custody until their parents could come get them. The Department of Health and Family Services immediately suspended the day-care license and said it has begun the process of revoking the license.

"The department's top priority is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the children who are in the care of a day-care center," said a department representative.

The state went so far as to deliver the suspension notice to the owner at the jail.

No charges have been issued as of yet against the three.

The day care was just granted its license two months ago.


What's my point? Well, my point is that the government granted a license to these people only two months ago. I ask...on the basis of WHAT? If you believe the Government is there to protect children(upisdown) ....Shame on you!
