Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Awful CL ads Again
MotherNature 11:37 AM 05-06-2014
It's been a couple weeks since we've had a 'terrible cl ads' thread.. I'm always worried I'm going to post an ad belonging to someone here. Anyway-here's a rambling mess. Love the last paragraphs...Oh, and she spammed it about 15 times in a row. Also-who lists their references and their contact info on the ad????

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/kid/4427521267.html

There was another ad that mentioned she kept her ratios low, so she was only going to have up to 6 kids...ok..don't word it like that's special..that's the state max for unlicensed homes!

They will NEVER end! I wish my state could shut these people down, but that will never happen either.

One lady here says she will buy food, but has to use her food stamps...

Another illegal unlicensed woman says how they will go to the pool every day (our ratio is 1:1 for pools), has a trampoline (a big no no)

One says she was certified in CPR years ago, but has lifeguard training.

One says she will only take $5 an hour, not even sweat shop workers make under that...no one around here makes that as a fcc if you break down weekly rates.

I could go on and on.

If she is so freaking smart ("bachelor in science managament cum laude") then why doesn't she know how to spell, use proper capitalization or punctuation?

I don't trust anyone that offers 24/7 care, all ages, cash only, no contracts.....I am sorry but that spells fishy to me.

I think it was MV who said prostitutes/escorts use ads like these... it looks like it's for babysitting, but it's really something ENTIRELY different. Although, in my area, the escorts are pretty straight forward about what they really are

That's what I was wondering about. Read the last line where most people say that no one should contact them about anything other than this ad.

Is your way of raising your kids consider taboo by the so called normal childcare pros? Or do you have a way of family love that some consider taboo? If so contact me as I don't judge and will follow your guide lines. It can be stressful on a child to have one way of things being at home and then when they go to a babysitters they have to pretend to be another. I have experience with taboo family love myself as a child and understand there stress.

That should be reported. It is pretty obviously looking for kids to abuse.

I just Google "taboo family love" to see wth they were talking about. I am literally sick to my stomach. Its taboo for a reason. Its abuse. People are SICK!

This ad is in the wrong section of cl in my opinion.

Hey hey not all 18 years old that have babies don't have good judgement.

There is a local ad on CL that gives me goosebumps. For starters, her name is little ankle biters...

What city is it in? Can we flag it?

I actually found and flagged the exact ad in two different places. They both have since disappeared. The one I cannot find a way to get off the net is here :
