Grand Prairie day-care - Current Event 10

This article is a reason to just get really really ticked off! A van driven by an unlicensed 20 year old hauling 20 children ages 3-11 was in a collision late September. I do not understand the reasoning behind the person who hired this driver! According to this article, this newly opened day-care has had numerous violations recorded and were still allowed to be in business. I think that a business should be given a limit and once that limit is met they should be shut down. This driver sent several people to the hospital, luckily none of the injuries were fatal. The car that hit the van was also driven by an unlicensed driver!! Now, it says that the owner of the day-care and the husband of the second driver were cited for allowing them behind the wheel. However, I think the day-care owner should have to spend time in jail or pay a large fine for knowingly endangering children. I understand that sometimes people are easily convinced of the worthiness of people because they lie on applications or even in interviews, but if you are hiring someone to transport children across town shouldn't you at least make them show proof of a driver's license??!!! This story has really gotten my quite baffled. I have no words for trying to explain the blatant stupidity of people. This is what is wrong with America. I honestly do not understand how someone could even be in the position to let something like this happen. I wonder if the driver of the van was tested for being on anything while driving too when she was taken to the hospital? I question this because she passed a car stopped at a red light in order to run the red light!! What kind of sense does it make for her to be a perfectly sane individual?
