Interesting...That's all I can say. I guess this is what happens when you try to do a do good deed...you get made a mockery of and interrogated. I have no connection with this story except for what I've read and seen. First of all to the DAD who commented you seem to be very ignorant. You had no idea what was going on with your child, and still you seem more concerned with the person who didn't get paid "what a concerned parent you are." Also to the DAD AKA Ignorant DAD where was your concern when the other daycare provider was present it seems like more serious things were happening on her time. Also to Concerned Parent sounds more like Ignorant Parent, you as well seem more concerned with the employee whom did not get paid...why? AH-HA you all must be friends! Makes sense why you would be defending them. Ok, Now I know Your Comments Don't Really Matter! On the other hand it's funny that the other lady (Melissa?) disappears the new provider to take the BLAME! Somethings Smells Fishy!
This is unbelievable! To start I thought the story was suppose to be about why the daycare shutdown and guess what it's not! This is a witch hunt looking for someone to blame! The Current but now Ex-Daycare Provider (Joyce Reser) who tried to help the previous daycare owner (Melissa Herschleb)out, because she herself had child abuse allegations against her is being put on trial for the world to see for past mistakes made. It's sad to see that the world will do anything to have a name behind the blame. I myself had a child enrolled in Melissa's Daycare that Joyce so willing took over to help someone in need. I can't believe what the news will resort to in order to find a decent story. I myself never had problems with Joyce Reser as my provider, although when it was under the care of Melissa Herschleb I witnessed childcare employees getting into fist fights, and employees whom I will not mention depriving children of food. DHS and the news should be concerned more with abuse in daycares
Where's the sexual abuse, kids being molested and fondled. I feel as if she doesn't have anything like that on her record it shouldn't matter. Everybody acting like she killed somebody. Dang, get over it. Answer this DHS, if the sole call assault happened in May of this year, than why haven't you gies done anything. If anything you parents should be upset with DHS not Joyce Reser.
Why can't people just mind there own business. We're already going through enough w/ the economy, school budgets, layoffs, foreclosures. Please just give the women a chance. Putting all her business out there like that. You all wouldn't want someone putting all yall business out ther like that. She must feel like Paris Hilton right about now. I know I would. Like Obama said, "Change for the better." That's what she's trying to do. DANG! So if I have a midemeanor on my record for driving on a suspended license, that makes me a bad person? You gotta be kidding me!
First of all, If you gies really wanna get technical. Melissa Herscleb should be the one in trouble here. Why everyone was thinking she was so innocent, she had licensing called on her several times because her son was biting the other children, yanking children by their arms and throwing them in "Time Out". She lied to the workers about why she was closing down, the real reason was about a child at the center, thats why she can no longer be around children for two years. It could have been your child! HMMM! I'm pretty sure all you parents or whomever have done things in the past. You should never judge a book by it's cover, you have to understand that people can change for the better.Just because they have a past don't use it against them. Joyce was judged based on her past not because of the good she's trying to do. It's alright cause you all will get your day to be judged and that's judgement day before GOD. But like they all say "YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW". GOD BLESS YOU JOYCE!
Finally she has been shut down, no more harm to any children. I feel sorry for the parents that had NO idea what their child's day care director/provider had on her record. Good Luck to the parents who are still looking for a great child care center or group/family home for their children. Good Luck to the previous employee who hasn't gotten paid from Joyce Cathey. She should be an adult and pay the person there money.
Finally! Joyce Cathy's home day care center was shut down last night at 6pm! Finally the state did somthing, now maybe the people who work there can be paid as well, I know that one of the day care workers called me and she was told to " Get paid from the prievious Owner " But everyone was being paid from Joyce Cathy's home day care account, so now she woun't pay people either, now that is no suprise about the kind of person she really is!
As to the question, who do think shut the day care center down? We made at least 15 phone calls and the day care was shut down the very next day after we found out, so that is what happened, 1day and SHUT DOWN!
My daughter was in ELCDC until we found out Joyce Cathey's background and history relating to illegal drugs, and physical violence. I am angry that the State has even allowed that woman to be anywhere near children-her own included. What it shows is that the State's review process of daycare license applicants is either severely inadequate or there was a massive mistake made in that review. And why is she still operating her in-home daycare? With all of this information, the State still hasn't closed it down! That is a gross injustice to the children. Many families in Lansing do not have a computer to get the info from the State website, or were aware of the issues with this daycare provider. There should be a better way to make the parents aware of daycare violations. Parents need to be informed before more and worse things happen to their children.
The nam of the day care center is Early Learners, the entire case is being investigated and that is why it was a bit vage.
This story needs followup by a seasoned investigative reporter; WHY is the former owner in Texas? Do they have charges? Were there any citations at this daycare? What about the employees? MORE FACTS, please; not just scandal. How many of us have pure lives? Much of the public wants real information.
To -dad in lansing If you knew all this then why did your son go there and why didnt you say anything before things got out of hand remember evil wins when good people do nothing
The reporter did not do a very good job at this story considering she never mentioned the name of the day care center! Isn't that an important part of the story?
My son was in this daycare center, I know for a fact that Joyce is lying! She was opperating under the previous superintendants license, who has now fled to Texas. Not only that but both of her EX-husbands are convicted Criminal sexual conducted Felons, and her current husband is on Parole! He was assulted by her and he is not to be with in 100 feet of ANY school, and he was doing the maintenance there! Now Joyce is acting as if she is so innocent, but she has been running the place and not being authorized by the state of michigan. Her alias she has been using has on suited to gain her profit and economical status, she needs to be locked up and sent away. Now there is a new aligation about a possible Sexual Assult on a little girl, who's parents transfered her from Joyce's " home daycare facility " where EX-con's frequent, to Early Learners day care center. It is public record and the state of Michigan has once again failed us and had no reguard for our trust in the system to protect!
