Breakdown of state oversight let day-care center stay open
Associated Press

BELLEFONTAINE NEIGHBORS, Mo. _ A home-based child-care center where a 4-year-old was reported missing last week was allowed to operate for years with a state license, even though a state investigation had found that kids at the center had been given drugs and alcohol.

Critics say the day care center was allowed to operate largely because two state departments failed to communicate with each other about dangers there.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Sunday that local police had investigated Neecy's Nest Child Care Center in suburban St. Louis since 2003.

Bellefontaine Neighbors Police Chief Robert Pruett said his office actively worked with the state child protective services as early as May 2003. He said police were responding to hot line calls about the welfare of children, concerns that continued as late as last summer.

3. The governor is a republican who has completely ignored children's issues

and he threw 40,000 kids off of Medicaid.

And the state house has turned red. The last time there was a Dem majority, they were investigating DFS. That stopped when the republicans took over.
