State to mom: Stop baby-sitting neighbors' kids

[TGregg]

Soon the same people who make and enforce rules like this will decide if your loved ones are worth the medical expenses required to keep them alive.

IRVING TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood's children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school.

Regulators who oversee child care, however, don't see it as charity. Days after the start of the new school year, Snyder received a letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services warning her that if she continued, she'd be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed day care centers.

Of course, if it turned out that she, or someone like her, had been abusing those children, and the state had done nothing even though aware of the situation, we would have to blame Obama.

Next letter she receives will probably be from her homeowners insurance policy with a list of exclusions or the need for riders because she is watching opk.

Oh, those damn actuaries with their high-falutin math and "risk" calculations! They act like they're in business or something.
