Demanding their money back

Angry parents and disgruntled ex-employees picked outside a Calgary dayhome in the neighbourhood of Cougar Ridge, Monday afternoon.
Several of the parents say the woman that's running the dayhome, Rosalie Maronese owes them money for deposits she never returned when they cancelled her services.
Ex-employees say they weren't paid their wages for working in her dayhome, and they all want the parents that may still bring their children to Maronese to know about the problems they've had.
In June, parents like Robyn Hartzler complained to CTV Consumer Watch about the woman that's now running the Cougar Ridge dayhome, Rosalee Maronese.
The parents said Maronoese took deposits worth several thousand dollars from them to hold spots for their children in a Northwest daycare that she didn't in fact own.
Hartzler was repaid after the CTV story aired.
During the CTV investigation, it was discovered that another company Maronese ran had been in trouble with the law.
In January a business she operated called "That Recruiting Company" pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed employment agency and direct selling without a license.
The court ordered the company to refund 11-thousand dollars to people who had paid the company to help them find jobs.
Monday, parents seeking deposits from the Northwest daycare ordeal, parents who cancelled Maronese's daycare services in that and another Southwest dayhome, as well as ex-dayhome workers, converged on her house demanding payment.
Maronese met them with video cameras and a man who served them with letters threatening legal action for picketing.
Maronese denies their claims.
