Sex offenders paid to baby-sit

[BigV]

So wolf, (I know this isn't your OP...) what do you think is "news" here?

Is it the fact that some people defrauded the government?

Is it the fact that children have been placed in the care of convicted felons?

Is it the fact that the state paid convicted felons?

What if a convicted felon were watching three of fewer of his own children? Or watching three or fewer children not his own and not being paid? Or being paid privately? Is this about the safety of the children?

I wonder what classic, plt and grav are mindblown about. I further wonder what they feel could and should be done about it.

Please don't get me wrong, I love my children and I think children everywhere are to be treasured. "Think of the children!" is something I do every day. But I don't see how this story is really about child safety.
