The owners of an Alexandria daycare were cited last week for packing seven kids into a car and failing to restrain them properly, according to a police report from the Arlington County Police Department:

RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT OF CHILDREN, 04/11/13, 2600 block of Shirlington Road. At 9 am on April 11, police pulled over a vehicle occupied by two adults and seven young children. All of the children were between the ages of 5 months and 3 years old, and none of them were buckled in with any type of safety restraints. One child was unsecured and sitting in the lap of the adult in the front passenger seat. Two of the children were seated in the rear cargo area of the vehicle, which had no seats and no restraints. When police questioned the two adult suspects, it was found that they were the owners of a daycare center in Alexandria, VA. None of the children were physically injured, and all of the children were returned to their parents. Betty Ross, 34, and Cassandra Lewis, 37, both of Alexandria, VA were charged with seven counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Both have been released on summons.

Sigh.
