 my daughter almost went to prison i had no idea the dangers my daughter were facing thank goodness for wkar  and for the watercooler for directing me to the article according to a study it found children who did not attend the early ed program were 86 percent more likely to face a jail sentence by age 40 than the kids who did attend wow my 3year old dodged a bullet there because both my wife and i work we put our daughter in daycare a few days a week and that seems to be the only thing stopping her from leading a life of crime it couldn t possibly be that she has a stable home with two parents otherwise i m sure wkar would have mentioned that keeping that statefunded childcare people lest the prisons fill up
