[quote=Anonymous]I remember having toddlers in 1997 and all of my mom friends were obsessed with the trial.of Louise Woodward, the British nanny who shook a Massachusetts infant to death. To me that's the turning point where we started worrying excessively about our children's safety. We didn't really have internet then but we had CNN and the ability to suddenly hear instantly about every bad thing and every danger. Everyone started worrying about abductions etc. I think the Woodward trial was also an early case of televising a trial, and she seemed so sweet and innocent. It was a bit alarming[/quote]
