Dukecreste: it's quite alarming that a nanny would mete such treatment on a 5 month old child. But I strongly believe that the mother is partly to blame, - reason is because of lost our values of motherhood! How and why would a mother entrust a 5 month suckling child to a nanny! If the mother could afford the 'luxury' to install a live feed synched camera and the 'time' to monitor it, why can't she stay around and take care of her baby. That child deserves a 'Real Mother', not a nanny or an absent 'mother'.

Ngwakwe: What then do you say of a parent that strikes her baby after repeated pandering and coddling in an attempt to get the baby to eat or keep quiet to no avail. Then out of frustration and impulse strike the baby mildly to see if the child react positively in her favour.

If this is what led to the action of this nanny, even in my presence as the mother of the baby will read her motive and will never regard it.

Please, how many ladies will work as a nanny and in whatever condition will be innocent of one flimsy act, then should be allow to cast the first stone.

What do you think Jacob was doing when he held his brother Esua's leg at birth. You think say these babies no sabi something.

Na waa for all these European and American wanna be*

BashToks:

Le Detective!!! Lol.. Nice observation tho
#Go figure

texazzpete:

Don't be daft. the baby is 5 months old, which makes her mum well outside the usual maternity leave window in most places of work. If all women quit their jobs as soon as they got pregnant, where would women be today? Which employer will employ any woman in her twenties and early thirties?

I love how you housewives try desperately to spin any story that features any working mother into a tale of negligence.

biolabee:

Thanks.

Damn and this one thinks god will favor her own children after subjecting an innocent child to such pain.
I'm sorry dear Golden may you live long and sure Amen

Redstone: That was gross, the slap was too heavy ooooo, could really injure the innocent baby.

coogar: why even arrest her in the first instance? what is unusual in what she's done?
if she did that to a man - feminists would back her up in court and blame it on her hormones.......

JallowBah:

My child was awake and eating every 1,5hour for her first 4months..I had so little sleep that I sometimes had to beat at the wall to get out frustration, but to beat my BABY because she was like that, and cried much at times? Hell no. HELL NO.

Now she is two, and if she sometimes throw a tantrum, I might give her a small slap on her a*s when she does not listen, and get warned, but to slap her face repeatedly, or even once, and her belly..? Nope, no, no way, ain`t gonna happen.

I feel sorry for your kids, if you have some.

all4naija: Even if the child is rejecting food she can report it to the mother and let her deal with it than slapping the 5-month-old baby. I can not understand what the nanny was thinking before striking the baby!

obadiah777: LIKE WHO CARES. WHITE PEOPLE DROP BOMBS ON BABIES IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AND OTHER THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES ALL THE TIME . F-U-CK THAT BABY. AT LEAST IT LIVED TO SEE ANOTHER DAY. IF THAT WAS A HISPANIC OR BLACK BABY THERE WILL NOT BE ALL THIS FURORE. FORK THIS TWISTED HYPOCRITICAL WORLD

Goldenskin: Nanny? I still get shivers when I think of them. I was a very sick baby while growing up, I was always rushed to the hospital for the same thing 'intestinal infection'. I almost died once. Also whenever my mum comes back from the office and carries me or touches my bum I scream. Anyway she later discovered that anytime she shouts or annoys or reprimands the maid she hit me repeatedly on my bum and fed me with faeces(I was less than 1).

That I am still alive is a testimony. And yes the weekly visit to the hospital stopped when she left
