The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On September 5, 2024, a default judgment was entered against Monica Balfour, doing business as Tia’s Childcare, by the Office of the Sedgwick County District Attorney. The default judgment settles allegations that Balfour violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) by acting as an unlicensed childcare provider and using Kansas Department of Health and Environment forms to present the appearance of being licensed. The Court found these alleged violations to be deceptive under the KCPA. As part of the ruling, the court ordered Balfour to pay $41,197 in civil penalties, court costs and investigation fees. The court also permanently restrained Balfour from providing child care services in Kansas without obtaining a license and from operating as a day care facility, until all costs and fees from the judgment have been paid.
