FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- One parent could keep a group of Head Start kids from celebrating graduation. Cynthia Nixon collected money from parents whose kids attend the Garden Terrace Head Start Program in Fort Pierce, and then reported the money stolen. Police first heard complaints Monday night that Nixon and some of the money she collected for caps and gowns could not be found.
When investigators caught up with Nixon, she told them someone stole $1,200 of the $1,700, but she never filed a police report.

Police said Nixon later admitted to stealing the money, and now faces grand theft charges.
