Just sick how people can do this. It really isn't safe to leave your kids with people anymore

That's disgusting.

you know, every time someone asks me what I am doing now, and I say I'm a stay at home mom, more often than not I get a judgemental look.

I wish I could bring my laptop with me everywhere and show these people videos like this to show WHY I choose to live paycheck to paycheck, but stay home with my daughter

what a cretin - I don't understand how anyone can treat an infant like that

Amen! I have only left my kids with sitters maybe 5 times since they've been born and every time it was a family member. And only certain family members. When I was younger I was abused by a family member so the only ones that watch my kids are dh's parent's and my sister. Not even my mom because she has absolutely no patience.

I really wish that every parent who wanted to stay home with their child could. Bills have to be paid though. I would lie my butt off and say the house was wired in every single room.

That really is horrid. I don't know how anyone can treat kids that way...

I don't even want to watch it.

It is just so scary to think what people do to children. But I don't think it is just a nowadays thing, like people say "anymore". I mean, people have been abusing children for a long time, and I am sure that babysitters did terrible things to the children they were minding since babysitting was invented (I couldn't think of the word, I don't think it was invented).

It would take a lot for me to be able to leave my children with a babysitter I did not know. I wouldn't let them look after my children unless they had references from other parents, a police check and a working with children check. But still even then, they could be a bad person. They just might not have been caught. So really, I have a hard time imagining ever leaving my children with a perosn I did not know.

If people do this to their own children why wouldnt a Nanny do it or baby sitter? Sick ppl. are every where and they hide it very well

I agree the only way your children are safe any more especially this day and age is take care of them yourself

OMG my jaw just dropped watching that! What a horrid woman. Poor baby. I'm glad she seems to be ok. I'll bet her parents are glad they had the nanny cam - it could have saved their baby's life.

I cannot stand to watch stuff like this anymore. How horrible, she acted as if that 5 month old baby was being bad or something, she even spanked it give me a break People disgust me anymore. My kids only stay with family, they never ever stay with anyone else. My IL's and my parents. I've known my sitter for years and years, there are 4 girls there that help her and there are tons of older children there too, so I would definitely know if something were up. My kids adore her.

The parents were both attorneys and had a background check, references and interviewed the babysitter. These kinds of people are just good at hiding it. You always hear about them having glowing references and no one ever thought that they would abuse a child.

How horrible... that poor baby. I'm so glad the baby is ok, it could have easily been a case of shaken baby syndrome.

I don't trust anyone with Ashley. My MIL and a very good friend are the only ones that have watched her on a handful of occasions.

GRRR People like this give us good caregivers a BAD name!!!! It makes em really mad that people do this. There are good caregivers out there but because of stupid people like this it is hard to trust the good ones too...

That's something else. Nothing against you at all but what about people that are bringing their children to someone else's house? You can't wire their house. I would be worried sick.

And your right. It only takes one bad experience for good people to be looked at like maybe they are one of those sitters.

Come on people, this isn't bad. You can't even see if the baby is really being shaken (the baby goes out of frame), all you see is the sweet nanny's arm's moving back and forth...

...sike

Yes, this is really bad. Looking at this nanny's mugshot tells it all...

She shouldn't go to jail. There should be a special place for people like that where mothers get paid to treat her the same way she treated that defenseless child.
