Field-Trip Fiasco

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Department of Children and Families is expected to issue a Jacksonville daycare with heavy
fines after taking children on a wild ride.
DCF spokesman John Harrell says 38 children from Kids Creation Child Care were stuffed into a van that only seats 15. They were
heading back to the center after day at "Chuck E. Cheese."  Harrell says the group of four-year-olds were sitting on other children's laps, some were sitting on the floor between the seats and others were standing in the van.
An employee at the kid-friendly restaurant, who saw the children piling into the van, called police.  Police ordered the daycare to get a second van. But when it arrived, they found that neither driver was properly licensed - one driver only had a learner's permit.
Harrell says the daycare center is not facing any criminal charges, but they are still investigating.
