(May 16, 2008)—A daycare center in Jacksonville, Fla. that crammed 38 children into a van designed to seat 15 is facing heavy fines.
It happened as the children were returned to the center after a trip to a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.
Florida Department of Children and Families spokesman John Harrell says 4-year-olds were sitting on other children’s laps while others stood on the floor between the seats and in other aeas of the van.
A restaurant employee called police after watching center workers pack the van.
One of the drivers only had a learner’s permit.
Harrell says the day care center is not yet facing any criminal charges, but they are still investigating.
