She did hire a felon. As a cok. about a week after she left the center they were cleanign out her office. Found unpaid bills, her personal cell bills bills that were paid with the centers credit card and the paperwork hidden for when she hired her stem mom - a FELON. Check your facts, well I did......

may be you should get the facts

I use to work there!

hopeful24 how do you know that she hired a felon?

hannah thanks for the link .

Yes, Jansevillean, I do believe that people who committ this specific crime should do jail time. I don't see it as anything different than robbing a bank, gas station, convenience store, etc. For two years this woman systematically stole from an employer that trusted her.

What a lot of people don't know is that she put the children in the center in danger by hiding paper work. So that she could hire a felon!What she did was very wrong and she and others like her need to do jail time. If you were to rob a bank you would do time. So what is the difference between what she did and what a non violent bank robber does? She should pay the money back and serve time in jail.

This person used to "run" a daycare in Beloit many years ago (12+ maybe...), and that daycare (CCC) suddenly "was in the red" and had to close the doors....is that just a coincidence? I doubt it!!! She should serve time!! But then we just end up paying for her to be in jail...I guess hardworking families will be screwed either way!

Janesvillean, what would you suggest??

JCK, you really think jail time is appropriate for a non-violent first-offender? Jail is not the only tool in the toolbox.

spacejam: What is your problem? Yes, I was originally posting as SarahB. I had to change the username to SarahB1 when I switched to a new provider, got a new email address and could not figure out how to access my old user account. (As if any of this is your business anyway.)

What's wrong is wrong good times or bad...I agree completely

Here's an article that indicates she used the money for mortgage payments, vacation club dues, rental cars and hotels.

It's unfortunate that people who committ this type of crime rarely do serious jail time.

What is it with these women? (Wright, Quinn and lets not forget Kay Hansen) It just disgusts me that these women think they are so much better than the rest of the world. Some of them STILL THINK they are. Too bad we know better. Of course, I am sure someone enjoyed the undeserved luxuries, as did Kay's daughter!

My grandson went to this day care and this woman was very rude, she thought she knew everything and maybe she did as she did steal. I never liked her, I hope she goes to jail and has to pay back every cent with interest. They say what goes around comes around I am glad she got hers. I wonder when my daughter said she thought she was getting double billed that maybe she was. I told her to double check but Deb, but she called my daughter a liar and irresponsible parent I wonder now.

SpongeBob: Name-calling should be beneath you. Thanks for agreeing with us though!

Gladidiot and Superdork, are you done wowing us with your little slap fight? You are making SarahB's comments look good. It doesn't matter what the situation is, Deb Wright is a thief. Oh, and in case you missed it, she STOLE FROM A CHURCH AND ITS DARE CARE. And I love the "not guilty" plea. Maybe she's retarded and didn't understand what she was doing. Those of us who know her wouldn't argue with that one.

Gladiatorfootball12: First you said "you'll never truly understand my defense". Then you say "Never in any of the post did I try to justify her actions". So you no longer defend her. No need to attack me, we finally agree! If she did what the article says she did, there is no defense. I don't care if she donated the money to Mother Theresa. Wrong is wrong.
Peace out.

Dave is no ordinary Dave, hence "Super". Dave you asked me what my point was. Point is she was stealing money to pay her mortgage. Do you comprehend? Never in any of the post did I try to justify her actions, rather explain a motive.

Disclaimer: I do no commend this act.

Legally speaking - We know that standing mute indicates that she is refusing to enter a plea and will be treated as if she is saying not guilty, but are we sure of this. She might be a mime artist in training and her message is: The money that I took is extra income so please have the IRS TAX me for ALL of the money that I took. Is it possible that she will be taxed on the unreported income?

Just a terrible and selfish act. Its no wonder church membership is dwindling in America, you can't read the news for a week without coming across stories of the theives like this or the sex offenders who run many of our churches. Obviously these are the minority but this type of behavior and hypocrisy in the church is the reason I've chose to worship in the privacy of my own home. This woman is a disgrace.

I give you credit supper dave you are a walking encyclopedia a fountain of information.
please see Nurse Ratchet she might have a pill for you,i hope you feel better in a couple of days.

SarahB1 you asked And, who in the heck is Mindy Quinn?

And i said it beats the hell out of me ,and aparently someone took offence to that.

Okay, I looked up the article provided by lussonee - thanks!
http://wclo.com/news/2009/mar/19/woman-a...
This very short article provides no new info. And even if yet another article mentions what she did with the money (mortgage pmts) how does this change anything? I stand by my previous comment, wrong is wrong, good times or bad.

We are all hurting in these harsh times but that is no excuse to steal from a church and a daycare! How can someone be a director of a daycare and know that the money she stole could benefit the education of the children! I absolutely CANNOT stand this woman! (unfortunately I know her) and I am not surprised that she did this because she is the biggest piece of white trash! I hope the court system makes an example of her because the last thing this town needs is another thief sucking us dry!

SuperDave said, “Wrong is wrong, good times or bad.”
SarahB1 said, “In my book, stealing from any person (whether rich, average or poor) or type of business is wrong.”
I agree totally.
IMO, the lack of integrity by some individuals in our society is very disturbing. This story is particularly bothersome to me because it involves someone who is involved with a church but evidently thinks she can hide her actions from mankind and God. In this case, I believe “Wright” was wrong.

There were actually two different women who embezzled money from Milton schools...One was awhile ago, Mrs. Fry and latest was Ms. Quinn.

I know this person and she did not need to take this money for bills...she simply wanted the money and she also is well known for expressing how very smart she is and how others are not. She is a liar and a thief because she wants to be. Don't feel sorry for her...she wasn't suffering financially...she just thought she would get away with it because she is so 'smart'.

ihavealife
What are you a fan of Mindys'?? I'm just one of many that never got $$ back that was due !!
----------------------------------------------
What did this woman steal that affected others?

jja: I'm not sure what you are referring to ... no offense taken here.

SarahB1-I didn't mean to offend you with my comment.

runts - yes when someone says that when your younger and it turns around and bites them .
congrats on your biz

ihavealife

jja... What are you a fan of Mindys'?? ------- -----------------------------------------------ihavealife if you want me to be a fan of Mindy's so be it ,i don;t have any idea who she is .

Superdave.
"Woman arrested for embezzling from daycare" Janesville Gazette 3-19-09.

SuperDave---Must be a pretty nice house if she needs 53grand for a mortgage payment!

Gladiatorfootball12: WHICH ARTICLE? Sorry to shout, but I already looked around and can't find it - you mentioned it - now please tell us which article(s) you are referring to? Please post the link.

Restitution seems unlikely. Forcing these offenders to perform community service rather than hide away doing house arrest seems like a good start to showing shame and wanting forgiveness for the crime that was committed.

She stole $53000 in about 24 months. That's one expensive mortgage.

The one which states she was using the funds for Mortgage payments. Not sure if you would classify that as a "Motivation" to obtain funds.

This person reminds me of TRACY RUTZ the one who stole lots of money from Ryan Const. all shes getting is the braclet. These people should get prison time because they KNOW that it is wrong to steal but yet still do it and then cry to the judge. I think The court system needs some help

Gladiatorfootball12: Which article?

Why does it matter that it was a day care center? Some of those commenting on this present article and an earlier one harp on that fact. In my book, stealing from any person (whether rich, average or poor) or type of business is wrong. And, who in the heck is Mindy Quinn?

my my ChocolateLover sure do like CCAP .

You say the word "embezzlement" and think of Mindy Quinn. She did not serve time in jail rather she wore an ankle bracelet for a few months. Remember the winter of 2007-2008? Mindy was relaxing in her home free from shoveling snow or having to brave the cold temperatures! Poor thing, while we were all trudging through the snow to get to and from work & school she was busy with her crafts and petting her dog. By the way, she is living in section 8 housing which makes you wonder how she spent all the money she stole?!?! Court records show she hasn't been making her car payments either.

Soooooooooooo ihavealife fill us in on Mindy, ya ya i know its none of my business .but i still want to know .

Please refer to previous articles on this matter.

There will always be "some peoples desire to do anything to obtain money". But even casually alluding to the state of the economy is inappropriate. Nothing in the article suggests that Ms. Wright was desperate to feed her family, or some other similar motivation. This was just a selfish act of opportunistic theft. Wrong is wrong, good times or bad.

SuperDave. I'm not going to defend that comment, because if you can not recognize the current state of the economy and some peoples desire to do anything to obtain money; well then you'll never truly understand my defense.

Oh and "I'm not commending the act."

Gladiatorfootball12: You said "I'm not commending the act, but times are tough. All I can ask is where are peoples morals." What is your point? Times are tough?? So what!! What is your point??? This traitor and common thief embezzled $53,000 from a day care center!
Now I realize this doesn't rise to the level of what the national government is doing to us (trillions!), but exactly what does "times are tough" have to do with it? And you don't have to repeat your disclaimer...

Why yes mam you can start tomorrow at 8am ,we need someone to steal from us welcome aboard.
by the way that will be a 40 hour a week job

This crime is really one of opportunity and temptation. Non-profits, no more than businesses, should not assume trust. There are reasons for double-entry accounting and other techniques, and this is one of them.

I'm not commending the act, but times are tough. All I can ask is where are peoples morals.

From the earlier report, they have her "red-handed", so I assume all of this is just a formality until her sentence is determined. I would hope she does time, like Mindy Quinn did. It was the same situation and Ms. Quinn had children as well.

You would think after several women had been busted for the same crime, others would "get it"....

Some criminals are simply that stupid!!!
