A probe into New York City day care centers has found fraud and major safety violations at nine locations.
Six day cares in total have been closed so far with a seventh set to close at the end of the year. Two others are being closely monitored.
Among the closures is Next to Home at 1123 Flatbush Ave., which had multiple violations.
Investigators say some of the facilities had rat droppings and rat poison on floors and spoiled milk in refrigerators.
Authorities say one facility never provided any day care services despite getting almost $60,000 in city money.
Department of Investigations Commissioner Mark Peters says the places in violation falsified and forged documents in order to cover up safety risks and steal money.
