Emergency workers discovered 15 children under the care of one person in an unlicensed and unregulated home day care in southwest Houston, authorities said.
An ambulance crew responding to a call of a child choking in the 6000 block of Bissonnet discovered the children in a one-bedroom apartment around noon Monday while searching for the call's origin.
"Three of the children belong to the woman," said Child Protective Services spokeswoman Gwen Carter, who said that parents of the 12 other children were contacted and their children were returned to them.
The ages of the children and the caretaker are unknown at this time.
Carter said that the woman is not likely to face criminal charges, "but we will be making sure she knows that she can't do this."
"Parents need to be really careful and also to make sure that they have all of their current contact information on file with their child-care providers and schools," Carter said. Full Story - Magazinelane.com - FineStationery
