Nurseries, raids on babies
An investigation into the inner workings of an economic model where profitability takes precedence over the well-being of children and their families. Former employees provide behind-the-scenes accounts of these daycare centers, which now operate on a profit-driven basis. In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, this sector is being privatized, paradoxically thanks to massive public subsidies. But where do these public funds end up?

As child abuse scandals multiply and embezzlement of public funds is uncovered, we investigate the excesses of deregulation that has transformed babies into cash machines.TPCC58minSep 9, 2025
