TX: Child Care Center "Withholds Water From Babies To AVOID Diaper Changes"
DALLAS - A Texas child care center accused of duct-taping children to mats at nap time also withheld water from children to avoid frequent diaper changes, according to an investigation by the state's regulatory agency for child care licensing.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services said the Heart2Heart Montessori Academy near Fort Worth was likely negligent in proper care giving, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.
"The caregivers were withholding water from the children to avoid diaper changes," it said in a letter to the center without offering further details. The center did not respond to a request to comment

Does not appear very constructivist. I was under the impression that Maria Montessori was thinking of student development, not provider laziness, while developing the philosophy. Remarkably, Texas seems to have a functioning, if marginal,Department of Family and Protective Services. And, an english speaking free press. My own LA County has what's called a DPSS which cannot keep kids out of horrific, too-frequently deadly foster care situations. See Palmdale child abuse casethis LA Times story for example. Make way! The rich get richer while the poor get babies! More headlines soon! Thanks kpete lest we dunno
