Manhattan nanny appears in court for the first time since double murder

[Anonymous]

I cannot believe this crap. So there are really people posting on this thread who think it was foreseeable that the nanny would slaughter the kids because she was disgruntled?

You people are unbelievable.

Don't be silly, 10:07. No one said the murders were "foreseeable".
What's your point?

19:39 and 09:49 BOTH said that the mother ignored her disgruntled nanny in favor of cheap child care. It's bullshit.

17:43, what are you saying? Everyone had an unlucky day? There were no red flags that should have been addressed?

I'm sorry, I think that a clear thinking parent would have done a few things differently. Aren't they ultimately responsible for their young children's basic safety?

Okay, 17:59, go ahead and blame the parents.

I guess all those people who died on 9/11 should have planned accordingly. Didn't they know that Middle Easterners could be terrorists? I sure did. So, since I am responsible for my own basic safety, I should have known to get off those planes immediately.

Clear thinking parent? I guess that you are some magical being who can see the future. Your nanny isn't happy? She must be planning to murder your children! Sure - it's the logical conclusion.

You are probably the stupidest poster on this board. And that is saying something.

Any intelligent person determines what is reasonable risk.

When it comes to the basic safety of young children, that's when most adults give the most consideration, realizing that little children are at high risk.

Some parents prefer to believe that parenting is no big deal, and, well, any one can do it, without much thought.

Ok. Good luck to you, because I guess that's all some of you might have, IF you're lucky.

You really just don't get it. Those are the words of a sanctimonious moron. You would think morons would be more humble, but I guess not.

Why do you keep avoiding the issue at hand?

Do you think parents bare any responsibility for the basic safety of their children??

Answer it.

Parents don't "bare" any responsibility for anything, PP.

Anyway, this notion that small children are so vulnerable and parents should be on their guard always, with everyone, assumes the worst of human nature when in fact, 99% of the time, nannies - even if they aren't otherwise great at their job - treat the children well and protect them from harm. To suggest that parents should be suspicious of their nanny every time they have an odd interaction or she asks for a raise creates an atmosphere of distrust and anxiety that isn't productive or necessary.

Go back to your bridge.

Go back to your sandbox, 11:42.

Your silliness is offensive, 11:42. Parents need not be suspicious of everyone, but centainly when you hire a complete stranger off the street, to be responsible for your own children.

What concerns me most, is the lack of real attention, some parents are giving to their childcare options.

Uh. Sure, I was silly. Whatever you say.

After someone has worked for you for two years (i.e. Ortega) they are no longer "a complete stranger off the street." The Krims met her family, traveled with her, and saw her provide quality care for their children for TWO YEARS. Your suggestion that temporary financial troubles on her side should have been cause for immediate alarm and that they failed to take proper care of their kids by not (over)reacting is what's offensive here, not me.

You nor I really know what exactly transpired between them, do we?
My point is, when we outsource our domestic responsibilities, we need to always be on our toes, especially when it's our children.
Agreed?

Nope. We don't. You are an idiot to suggest that somehow the Krims are responsible for the deaths of their children.
