Industrial Scale Babysitting
My mother and older sister used to work at a day care center for mentally retarded children. This was back in the day when they were still called mentally retarded. I think the term nowadays is developmentally disabled. Medically the children were classified as Down's Syndrome, infantile autism, etc., but operationally two important classifications were eaters and runners. The eaters would eat anything, and I mean anything, such as cleaning gloves. The runners would bolt out the door at any opportunity and would be down the street in a flash. Fun times.
