(Tax deferred of course). <BR/><BR/>The only way this type of neglect would be reportable is if the nanny were willing to reveal her status as an illegal resident who is being paid off the books so the parental units can have more $ to deposit into the child's college fund and if she did, all that would happen is the parents would hire someone else cheap to enable them to neglect their parental responsibilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-1161411826599397342006-10-21T02:23:00.000-04:002006-10-21T02:23:00.000-04:00what are you "Well, at least we know who the racis...what are you "Well, at least we know who the racists are around here" trying to say?
