The Michigan woman apparently had failed to apply for a license to watch some neighbor children for about 40 minutes each morning until the school bus arrived.
I have mixed feelings on the issue, as I am a Democrat but have found myself in agreement with conservatives on some of these kinds of issues since the 1990s:
Folks we have at last come to a decision point.
We have allowed our various governments from the smallest village all the way to the halls of the federal government to become an anti-family, anti-American despotism and here is just another disgusting example of that devolution from American republic to fascist state.
When we are prohibited by state law to even offer a little help to our friends and neighbors or face prosecution by the all powerful state, we have arrived at a time when our government is no longer on our side. Our governments, all of them, are fast becoming enemies to the common good, enemies to the rights and liberties of the people they are supposed to govern. Government is now only interested in its own power and its own needs.
When you can't even help a neighbor for fear of the fascist state coming down on you like a ton of bricks we have arrived at a turning point for sure. It is time to take power away from government at every level. When any politician is running for office and telling us what he will "do" for us, tell him you only want one thing from him. Tell him you want him to LEAVE US ALONE.

Since when is babysitting a neighbors children a few minutes a day classified as a daycare center? And how did the authorities find out about it? Something tells me there is more to this story.
The mom and dad who arranged for their children to be taken care of before school should be praised, instead they and the sitter are punished and that is real crime.

This is similar to a case in England where a police women would mind a co workers child in order for her to return to work, until they were informed that it was illegal because it was for longer than 2hrs per day and she should have applied to be a legal childminder, which of course costs money. But I think the same questions come up, when does helping a friend or nieghbour become the bussiness of the state to monitor.
England's Children's Minister wants a review of the case of two police officers told they were breaking the law, caring for each other's children.

The article doesnt say if the American woman was being paid, but I imagine she was. The question I have is if in both cases the person did not take any money would it still be considered breaking a law? Does payment incite a binding contract that trigger contract laws and employment licensing, therefore regulation by government.
