Not to be annoying here but to be clear, you were the OP, but I was the one who broke the law. Unless this is a veiled confession.
Oops, my bad, you indeed are the one that broke the law.

I forgot I had started this thread (because back then I was interested in the norms regarding nanny pay, not the overzealous nature of the state in prosecuting parents who are trying to comply.

And let me be clear: I don't think breaking the law is a good thing. There should be punishment for it (under most circumstances). But here it seems like the punishment you faced didn't fit he crime and, worse, it's things like this that make that 70-80% non-compliance number that high.
