Firstly the local news runs the "Unlicenced Daycare Scandal" story.

Social services should be the good guys, but you would be amazed at how poorly they do their jobs at times. Not that they are always bad, but damn when they screw up... And not being licensed is hardly a scandal. Rarely will a provider be prosecuted for not having a license. States that require licenses or registrations do so just to keep watch on providers and quality of care, not to put people away who don't choose to get a license.
