A day care director faces seven counts of felony embezzlement and 46 counts misdemeanor embezzlement.

Janesville Police arrested Deborah L. Wright after Faith Lutheran Church reported its day care center, Faith's Little Friends Day Care, was a victim of embezzlement. Police investigation reveals Wright embezzled more than $50,000 from 2006 through 2008. Police say Wright used the money for personal vacations, mortgage payments and other personal expenses.

The thefts came to light after an audit of the day care accounts.

She was arrested Wednesday.

Apparently she wasn't the Wright one for the job.

I also feel sorry for the new director, but what about the other people that work there? They also have to help clean up the mess
