A person wrote a letter that was proven to be a lie to the Department of Human Services here in Colorado, which open an investgation on my childcare. My youngest child's father was here in my home, and due to his background we never said that he resided in my home. Now this was my profession before I began this relationship with him. But the person knew of his background and wanted to destory my business. So, the state began to ask me if he lived here, I said yes, because I was trying to make things right with him being in the home. The state asked me to provide them with his background information on his criminal background and his fingerprints. I asked my license specialist before I agreed with the whole background check what would result in losing my license. She would only say that it was up to the divison of childcare to decide. Needless to say my license was revoked last week. They state didn't provide me with an attorney but wanted me to go to court and fight for my license. I tryed everything I could, because I never had any complaints, no issuses with any of my families. I just wanted to do chilcare. I didn't have a back-up plan, it's just a bad situation. Who's there to help us childcare providers when we have a situation as such, we need help with legal issuses, and help to understand the rules and regulations as well as the laws.
