This video made me so damn angry at first, then I felt like crying near the end. It's so sad and uncomfortable to watch, there's a part in the middle where she keeps hitting and hitting my heart was in my mouth I thought she wouldn't stop it was like a horror movie, if that child was a few months younger itwould have died.

It is unfortunate, but what measures can be taken to prevent such incidents.

I know parents who send their 1yr-olds to creches only to discover months later that the child has lost most motor skills because the caretakers dowse them with Valium so they can sleep until the parents comes to take them home.

There are instances where the child is beaten with a pillow to cause them enough trauma to keep quiet and sleep since there are no visible injuries, the parents take the usual claim that the kid is worn-out from playing all day.

Thinking of getting a dirt-cheap nanny from the village or some waiting-to-go-to-d-university girl to look after your baby, think again. there are instances where these girls are caught sleeping with the house-boy or gate-man or boy-friend right in front of the kid.

The horror stories are endless.

There are agencies that hire-out these nannies and never conduct any sort of psych-profiling before confirming these R.tards
They should be sued for every nickle they have got.

1: How do we ensure that the nannies are balanced mentally
2: Understand the nuances of infant behavior
3: Understand how to handle infants when they cry inconsolably

Honestly its horrifying when you think of all the things that happen to the little ones. Is it a crime to be little? There will always be evil people no matter what. Thats why one needs to pray really well before engaging creches or helps to look after one's kids.

Much as we may not be able to say that this nanny or that creche 100% meets our expectations,we can howevr do a lot to ensure we get the ones that meet 90% of our expectations

extremely sad and scary

there is this one I was discussing with a friend today while I went to pick up my kids from school. It happened about two weeks ago here in Ibadan. The nanny strangled a two year old boy left in her care to death with a towel.
For those of you who think this story is fake, the lady in question works with Starcomms in Ibadan while her husband works in Eco Bank.
I still think the day care centers are better than having nannies if one does not have other options

It's horrible to think that a nanny could be so cruel.

It makes you wonder why she would want to be around any children

if she thought at anytime i may harm you.

I am not even going to bother clicking on the link.

I can guess it is one of those horrendous videos that would make me temporarily psychotic, fuming, ready and seeking to kill the perpetrator. I have no medicine to take for such feeling at the moment.
I don't want high blood pressure. If I ever see anybody causing immense and evil harm to any child (especially toddler) I am sure I can kill them on the spot (slow killing, that is).

I can't watch either. My heart can't handle these things. 

Surely I would murder the person. I don't care if it was my mother, father, brother, sister, in-laws, outlaws, whatever. Why take the job if you know you can't handle children?
