Families who previously had children enrolled in a nearby preschool have told you stories of what happened to their children in that center. They described dirty sheets on the cots$,$ harsh punishments including withholding food, and ratios of twenty children to one adult. One day you drive by and see a lot covered with asphalt and dry grass. There are a few rusting pieces of playground equipment. Several children are standing along the chain$-$link fence looking at the cars going by$.$ There are no adults in sight.
