A group of four year old children were traumatized this week when city inspectors marched into their childcare program and ordered them to gather their belongings and leave immediately. 1/5
What happened here? Another untrained & misinformed inspector shut down a childcare program that was legally permitted to operate. It took a week for the city to acknowledge their error, a week where working parents were forced to scramble for other options for their kids. 2/5
Children are suffering tremendously at the hands of incompetent leaders who care more about power than about the lives that they are impacting. 3/5
By the way, many of these inspectors have been pulled from their regular jobs to conduct these enforcement actions. So it’s entirely possible that the inspector with the immense power to shut down your child’s school & upend your life is normally a “RODENT inspector”. 4/5
This was another egregious failure by the city & state. It’s unbelievable that they didn’t recognize their own error until I personally pointed it out. It shouldn’t have come to a point where parents need to sooth terrified children who are now afraid of anyone in a uniform. 5/5
