Prima facie evidence of intent to defraud. The obtaining of care for a child in a child care establishment by means of any false pretense or representation, knowingly made, or the refusal or willful neglect to pay for that care, or the giving in payment for that care of any negotiable paper on which payment is refused, or the removal of a child from such an establishment without paying or offering to pay for the child’s care, or the surreptitious removal or attempt to remove a child from that establishment, is prima facie evidence of intent to defraud the keeper or proprietor of that establishment.
