Here’s some free entrepreneurial advice: If you want to run a successful day care center, don’t pull down the kids’ pants and comment on their genitalia.

A California Department of Social Services report says Suzanna Best did just that at Best Family Child Care Home in Apple Valley, near the Mojave Desert. The report says Best pulled down children’s pants in front of adults and made inappropriate comments about the size and shape of their sexual organs. Knowing the way children take such comments to heart, this might have prompted suicidal despair.

Among other findings, the Associated Press said, the report says a developmentally disabled child was taken to the backyard and hosed off
with a garden hose after defecating in her clothing. The daycare center telephone has been disconnected.
