   My name is Simon, my wife and I own Circle of Friends Child Care Center. This is where Keri and Ronald's daughter attended before they ran off while still owing us for her outstanding tuition fees. When we wrote to them asking for payment on what we were owed they started making threatening phone calls to us in which they stated that they were not going to pay us anything at all and that if we pursued them for payment then they would do everything they possibly could to get us closed down. I don't think that anyone could say that by writing to Keri and Ronald asking for payment which is rightly due to us is threatening them or being unprofessional. When they continued making threatening phone calls to us we then had no choice but to report their actions to the Sheriff's Department. Then Keri and Ronald started a malicious hate campaign against us online by knowingly posting false allegations all over the internet against us and so clearly trying to turn people against us with their false reviews. Some of the publishers we contacted complied with our request asking them to remove Keri and Ronald's false reviews. We then had to hire an attorney to represent us who then wrote to Keri and Ronald asking them to remove their knowingly false reviews against us. Keri and Ronald then replaced some of their original reviews with toned down versions which still contained knowingly false allegations against us and many of these false reviews still remain in circulation. Obviously, the reason why they targeted me in particular with their false allegations, such as me giving them the feeling of distrust, was because I was the one who wrote to them several times after they had ran away, asking them for payment regarding their outstanding tuition fees and also because I had to talk to them both many times concerning their late payments, late pick-ups and for not sticking to their agreed upon three day part-time schedule for their daughter but instead just showing up whenever they felt like it. So I think you can see for yourself who really acted distrustfully. Their daughter always appeared to be very happy at our center, so much so that it usually took Keri or Ronald about fifteen to twenty minutes each time they came to pick her up to try to get her to leave with them and in fact a lot of the time they had to pick her up and carry her out. Many people have visited our center over the years and they have nearly always commented on the cleanliness of our center and on how happy our children are. In that time nobody has ever said that there was a strong smell of bleach at our center since there has never been one in the first place. We had to file a claim in the Small claims court for what we were owed by Keri and Ronald. When we went to court the judge reviewed all of the evidence carefully and agreed that we had only charged Keri and Ronald strictly according to our tuition policy and their contract with us and so he awarded us judgment for the full amount we had claimed. As we expected Keri and Ron did not appear for the court case, which just goes to show you how much truth there was in their false allegations against us. As yet we have received no payment from either of them for the outstanding tuition fees we are owed.
