She told him to "get rid of the outrage."
She said if she felt her child was in danger, she would take her out immediately.
She would not wait for months.
Mrs. Bean also picked up her child from another facility around seven times.
This made a total of at least seventeen times.
Mrs. Bean explained that her best friend started working there.
They felt more comfortable picking her up from there.
The Plaintiffs' Case is Dismissed
Judge Judy dismissed the Beans' case.
She stated they had no cause of action against the defendant.
The Counterclaim: Defamation and a New Daycare
The case then moved to Ms. Clark's counterclaim.
Ms. Clark claimed defamation of character.
She also claimed breach of contract for lack of notice.
Judge Judy focused on the defamation claim.
Ms. Clark presented a social media post.
Mrs. Bean had written, "We have reported actual violations to the state."
Mrs. Bean admitted writing this.
Judge Judy stated that other things Mrs. Bean said were not actionable defamation.
However, the claim of reporting actual violations was a lie.
Mrs. Bean had not called child protective services.
No one she knew had called them either.
The social media post was from December 2020.
This was two weeks after Mrs. Bean was granted a license for her own daycare.
Judge Judy emphasized that Mrs. Bean was not allowed to lie about someone's profession.
Ms. Clark's daycare was investigated because of this.
The Puzzle Pieces Fall Into Place
Judge Judy questioned Mrs. Bean about her new daycare.
Mrs. Bean confirmed she started a daycare facility with her best friend.
Her facility was licensed.
She applied for a license on November 17th, 2020.
She started the required courses on November 14th, 2020.
She removed her child from Ms. Clark's facility on October 7th, 2020.
Judge Judy highlighted the rapid timeline.
Within a month of removing her child, Mrs. Bean found courses.
She enrolled, took the courses, and made arrangements for inspections.
She then applied for a license.
Her application was granted three days later, on November 19th.
Judge Judy asked if Mrs. Bean's best friend babysat for her until she got licensed.
Mrs. Bean confirmed this was correct.
Judge Judy concluded that "it all fits together like a puzzle."
Verdict for the Counterclaim
Judge Judy awarded Ms. Clark $5,000 for defamation.
The case was finished.
