A report by the I-Team at CBS-4 in Miami showed many day-care centers in metropolitan South Florida have operated for years without complying with state safety standards, according to public records. Stephen Stock of WFOR led an investigation that pored through more than 7,000 paper inspection reports. Members of the IRE/NICAR Database Library staff assisted the Channel 4 I-Team with analysis of the reports, which were entered into a computer database, and the creation of an interactive map and search tool for visitors to the station’s Web site to browse through the results themselves.
