^^ok then.


will you not change your pikin's diaper?

i guess if i have to right ? ohhh the horrors of life

I dnt understand tpia

buzugee:

i guess if i have to right ?

yes, if you dont want further problems that come with an unchanged diaper.

eg skin rash, screaming, smell, etc.

uplawal:

I dnt understand tpia

it can be tiring even taking care of one child, talkless 5-20.

uplawal:

@Buzugee, Theres no way those kids will be treated good,except she gets help from someone,children are real demanding

You have to feed them

Change diapers

Change their clothes if any

get along with them on children tv,singing lullaby

Clean the house every now and then because they have to be hygieny safe

Except maybe she ties them to their individual pushchair,like their parents dropped them and she screams at them at slightest cries or  worststill give the kids sleeping medicines,then the kids turns to dull all night long and parents will be too tired to notice this after longday work.

Parents just beware of the kind of people you drop your kids for.

well you know naija parents are not too fussy. you can slap a naija womans kid in front of her and she will join you in whooping that butt if you tell her why you are whooping that butt. basically all the woman does is plonk all 20 of them in front of the tv all day.   anyone who gets out of line is getting slapped.

why is this life so hard now i gotta smell someones rancid crap because they are my kid ? life is harsh

anyone who gets out of line is getting slapped

one nasty nigerian woman twisted my ear so badly as a kid- i still remember the pain till this day.

she suppose be family friend o.

 i no know wetin i do am, although i was a bit stubborn sha. She took us shopping and wanted to buy earring. I wanted to do something else.

clash of wills, and the lady twisted my ear as if i was a criminal.

I can't even believe that parents would leave their kids in that condition. The sad part is that some parents might actually do this thinking that their kids were safer than in a regular daycare. I cannot even imagine what those poor kids went through.

^^overseas, nigerian or maybe african parents work like crazy.

with all the multiple mouths they're feeding back home, can one blame them really.

its funny you say that. all the kids that went through that woman turned out to be meek and docile. very exceptional students in school. very focused. dont give any kinda wahala. very respectful to adults. i guess kids respond to slaps

buzugee:

nigerians and discipline.

they dont joke with it at all, though i hear times are changing because some parents can literally beat anybody who touches their child, in nigeria these days.

I tell you tpia,now i get you,

I used to be a fulltime childminder,i still do in someweekends

If it happens that i dnt take my bath in the early hour of morning like six am,then it will be later in the night after they have all left.

Cos i cant imagine leaving kids to themselves while am washing myself in the bathroom,never.I dnt even take a nap,full concentration on them till they leave ,after then i will even be worn out,so tired,because i attend to them like they are my kids, cos i love kids naturally,i dnt feel tired caring for them,but i feel the tireness after they are all gone, even i dnt stay long in the kitchen leaving them behind talkmore of going out.

yeah i wish a motherlover would touch my kid. i will rip out his or her tongue with my bare hands. yes i will. really i will

@Buzugee,Pls dnt support badthing,most of these childminders dnt give this kids what thier parents pay for,except the nice and Godconscious ones do,Infact,they kill the children's courage/confidence from young age,rendering them fearful at a slight approach.

lol you know you dont need a child minder to kill your childs spirit in nigeria. african parents do a good job of that. heck my spirit was killed by the many whoopings i received at home and in boarding school.  and for $3 an hour what exactly were you expecting ?  now if you hired a nanny for $17 an hour, she will take the time to nurture and teach your kid. sall bout the benjamins babyyyyyyy. you get what you pay for

Dnt even go there, i went to boarding school myself,precisely Federal school, it was little hell.

but all the same,the kids should be treated well  regardless of what is paid,if not,God will in one way or the other make the laws catch up with them,thats reality.

so no one died

Of course you blame them.

Everybody is sad over what happened, and i`m still reeling from the shock of finding out the carer involved is nigerian. The fact that people are discussing doesnt mean they dont sympathize with the families.

I truely feel sorry for this lady,carelessness we all call this.But I do not really think so,It is just what I will call one mistake that ruin her life.I would advice the family of the woaman step in if truely she ran away.They should convince her to return to the US as there is no other 2 ways about facing the issue at hand

Was she taking care of children of Nigerian/Africans? These things happen with Americans as well sha, not only immigrants.

That is, lots of misguided parents who want to economise on the cost of childcare but spend $300 on their hair; caregivers who are just so clueless and careless.

Looking at the scenerio, I think that was not the first time she left the children on their own while trying to attend to other stuffs. This happened just to bring before her the foolishness of leaving children without constant watch. She has complicated the case further by being a fugitive instead of staying back becuase, from the story so far, I think she is a child friendly person and the incident was unintensional and unfortunate.

So sad!

This is a sad story indeed.

I remember watching it on breaking news here.

Ms. Tata knew she had messed up big time because she started out pretending and lying. First saying she was in the bathroom at the time the fire started, even before I knew the full details I questioned that because 7 babies in the house ages 3 and under she would have heard crying/screaming or at least smelled smoke and those babies would not have died as fast as they did if she was actually in the house.

That's just my piece on that, now to some who say she was only 22 well here in the U.S. many girls start babysitting in their teenage years with no problems I was one who started when I was 14yrs old.
Ms. Tata took RESPONSIBILITY for those children in her every action, as (from stories I've read) she would babysit some of her church members children (one of those who died was a church member little girl), then she took her liking and responsibility to the next level she thought she was ready for, she rented a nice home then she applied for a license to run a home daycare from the state of Texas, which is in no way nilly willy, there are standards she has to met one of which most likely is taking classes in childcare, cpr etc. the house also had to met standards of safety which at first it failed, Ms. Tata corrected those and passed all inspections and was granted a license to run a home daycare with limits on the number of children in her care if she was the only adult to care for those children the limit is 6 (I believe) but she had 7.

To those who believe that she may only serve a few years in prison, I say Think Again, this happened in TEXAS and the charges WILL be increased to involve more than "child endangerment" if she doesn't do the right thing for herself, those children and their families.

Ms. Tata did not do herself any favors by taking flight to avoid the charges. From what I have read from some of the parents of these children she has their sympathies and they only want justice and not revenge which I see as being in her favor. The victims families feelings and opinions can go a long way in a courtroom for either side.

I pray that the Good Lord grant ALL involved comfort and peace.

breaking news: Jessica was heating the oil in preparation for cooking ogbono and edikaikong, as well as for frying fish and goat meat for stew. Now children are dead because of all this. She went to the store to get a pack of Guinness and Heineken.

@tpiah!, Mr buzugee cld decide not to have kids, adopt a 14-yr-old or pay someone to take in the smell. You know I hate this idea of you were born and must do the same. Don't we even have a choice? In Nigeria, you meet a woman with 6 children and she will tell u God decides if that is enough and she is dying of hard job of little pay and more restlessness. It is funny, how people come together to make babies and then jettison them to Minders and God.

Fergii are you saying buzugee or someone else will decide to adopt an almost grown person in an effort to avoid the smell of diapers? Not sure im reading you right.

she must have forgotten the oil on the stove, no one in her right mind will do that , but running away is not the solution.
May the little angels RIP

And this is a lesson for all the parents that leaves their kids in the house to run errands.

That wicked b!tch will never see peace until she turn herself in . . .

I wish God's rest for those 4-poor souls.
I wish their parents my sympathy and God's comfort too.

Now, to the koko issue:

okay, two things:
1.) She is 22yrs ---- barely matured enough to be called a "Mother"
2.) She was obviously a hardworking lady who wants to use her idle time to do some legit work (and l bet she loves children too, otherwise she should have been painting the "red-district" at night or doing yahoozee)

Lets not get too sentimental or take some shitty moral high ground here!, SHE MADE A MISTAKE BORNE OUT OF INEXPERIENCE. End of story.

Some clowns are even asking us why did she run?
Idiots, SHE RAN OUT OF FEAR!
What do you do (or your brain does, involuntarily)  WHEN YOU"RE  AFRAID?
its called "fight or flee"!

She made a fatal mistake that cost lives, innocent lives for that matter but it does not lessen the fear in anyway.

And l will bet my two bosoms/balls that 99% of all the "pretenders" here on NL will do the same, under the same circumstance (The remaining 1% will be so frozen with the same FEAR they will just stand rooted to the same spot till the Police wake them up to put handcuffs on! )

Turn herself in? Dont be silly, let the Police do a damn good job of this, thats why they are paid

Stop pretending, you all will do the same thing or who has not made a mistake before?
Okay, yours did not kill anyone?, what about drunk-driving?
What about talking on the phone while driving or does that not cause deadly "accidents"?
"Let he without sin, cast the first stone"

BTW: I guess the "parents" knew where their mistake lies, hence the "forgiving spirit". Both have liabilities naah

Lesson here is: Be careful who you leave your children with and if you must take up FOR CHILDREN,be reminded that it is a huge responsibility (Dont just think about the income only!).
Again, dont be too greedy and want to "eat alone, die alone"! Employ one assistant to help you! One minder to seven kids is too greedy naah
Now, Yaawah don-gaz!
