a three month old girl found in what was an unlicensed daycare. the two women are facing charges and being held on bond. police say the women cared for 23 children all under the age of 4 and the legal limit for home daycare is just 12 kids. >> 23 children there, there were five not including the victim that were under the age of 12 months. and basically the charges stem as of right now from that. >> prosecutors believe the two daycare workers are in this country illegally. federal authorities have been called in and investigators say the owner of the home lives in peru and may also face charges. police fell us an autopsy on that three month old revealed no signs of trauma. and there is new information on the death of another little girl. this one found in the trunk of a car in prince frederick, maryland. we learned it was the grandparents who found those remains in the trunk of their daughter's car. the calvert county sheriff describes the remains of a

fetus or newborn and probably been in the car for a very long time. the mother has not been charged, but her three other children have been placed with their grandparents pending the outcome of this investigation. there was more good news today for the unemployed. the latest jobs report says american employers hired more people than expected last month. the official numbers, 227,000 jobs added in february and they came in all types of careers. manufacturing, healthcare, food services. but the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.3% and that's because half a million people who had given up hope for finding a job are again out there looking. president obama trying to put the face on those numbers. it was an airplane parts factory in prince george and there, he told the supporters these new employment numbers show the nation's economy is clearly growing stronger. >> our job now is to keep this economic engine churning. we can't go back to the same policies that got us into this

>> do not allow anything to be taken that you don't want everybody in the world to see. >> no matter how many blocks you have on your own facebook, only my friends can see this. well, you may make a friend mad and your friend may cut and paste something that you did and post it on his wall that he opens to the world. >> montgomery county's teen coordinator. >> the colleges that accepted you. >> admissions offices will hire students to troll facebook and internet after kids have been accepted. are there pictures holding a red cup? that's not projecting a good image. they can withdraw your scholarship. >> employers are looking at social media, too. >> we've been in existence 15 years. >> you start making adult-like decisions. >> we have kids now in their 30s going for security clearances and they want to know everything you've done from the cradle on up. >> so is the military. >> i had to write many letters for men and women wanting to go

airport police got there and she was taken into custody. american airlines replaced the crew member and the plane took off about two hours later. so, you take the kids to chuck e. cheese and when it's time to go home, you leave one kid behind. that is what happened to a family in texas. a mother with ten kids took everybody to chuck e. cheese. the birthday bash for five-year- old jackson was the party, but a few hours later, employees were basically sweeping the place up and realized little azana was still there all by herself. get this, the mother didn't realize she was missing until this morning when she was getting everybody off to school. >> she left her child? >> i don't know how anyone could forget their own child. >> the mother was emotional that she left the child at chuck e. cheese. >> ten kids is a lot. a lot of kids. child protective services have the little girl and they are looking into this further.
