At Connecticut Day Care Deemed 'Hazardous,' Backers Come to Owner's Defense.

The article reports on a Stamford, Connecticut day care which was closed by the state's Dept. of Public Health and the Dept. of Children and Family when the 14-year-old daughter of the owner, Collette A. Barnes, was found solely responsible for seven children, while Barnes was in Florida. Barnes faces eight counts of risk of injury to a minor and eight counts of reckless endangerment in the second degree. The parents of the children who attended the day care believe state officials overreacted.
