Death of Pittsburgh twin infant

[Anonymous]

Is it strange that the other infant had injuries too but there the source of those injuries are unclear.

I'm a twin mom and caring for two infants is hard. I'm wondering if she just lost it.

It's such a sad and odd situation. Six weeks is really young to get a weekend sitter for twins. The sitter seems like she didn't have much experience if she told 911 that the baby was in a bouncer and fell. That's too young for a seat/bouncer.

Hopefully the truth will come out. Either way so sad.

It doesn’t sound like a weekend sitter. It sounds like the parents had a friend visiting. While the friend was there they discovered an injury on one kid and asked friend to watch the other kid while they took the first one to the hospital.

People use bouncers for newborns all the time.

You're correct. I call that an infant chair. I watched the video and thought of the sit down activity type bouncer for an older child when I heard the reporter.

The video from the local news said that the children had been in her care earlier that day and when she mentioned the injury they took one twin and left the other.

That report sounded like the parents were not around earlier that day when she was watching them.

yep. People here will shout you down if you try to talk about therapy abuse, yet I'm not surprised because I sometimes see the exact same unhealthy power dynamics here.

I know a complete psychopath who thinks she is amazing because she's getting a PhD in health from an Ivy League school. She's very physically fit and takes all her vitamins. She laughs at disabled people and thinks they should be kept out of the way because they are useless to society. Unlike her of course, the very physically healthy psychopath who thinks she's a doctor.

We actually do have doctors with this mindset too.

It should be a wake-up call for society that a psych PhD did this.

No career is immune from people with undiagnosed mental health issues. The most sociopathic doctor I saw was a cardiologist. The problem is that when onset happens after they have a license, it’s hard to take it away until something egregious happens.

I’m guessing she’s getting a degree from Harvard Extension School. It’s not really Harvard.

The injury was to the genital area and only the parents and the friend had been with the child. If the parents didn't harm the child then it had to be the friend. So why leave her alone with other infant,,? Makes no sense unless all three were involved in harming the child,! Why didn't they call 911?

I question why parents left 6 week old infants with anyone.

Who says the parents weren't involved? The dad looks dodgy to me. Maybe he cracked under the pressure of having twins and blamed it on the babysitter.

This. I was an exceedingly laid back parent and had twins and I would
not have left them with a friends at 6 weeks. That's really not typical behavior at all.

I wouldn't make assumptions about any of them until it's fully investigated.
