Background checks on…. wait a sec, did I just say ‘toddlers’? what? what the heck?

A friend calls me in splits – alternating between rage, anger, laughter, and confusion – that apparently as she was cruising around for a day-care for her 20 month old, the lady-in-charge asked for 2 payments of $75.
One $75 was an application fee and the other was for the background check that they would run on the 20 month old once the application goes through. She thought she mis-heard – surely, the lady must mean, credit check or background check on ME or the dad, but nope, she had heard it right.
Through the confusion she stammered out a ‘excuse me but why?’ and the answer is “we need to see if the 20 mth old got kicked out of any other daycare centers for various reasons, not excluding, biting, screaming, bad behavior[read behavioral problems arisen due to familial disturbances], frequent colds, coughs, abuse etc”

My friend was quite amused not to mention quite apalled and disgusted.

which age and where are we living?!
