[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This certainly is horrific. What still haunts me is how it was never said HOW these parents found this sitter. I'm horrified to say... probably off the street, without a single reference or criminal background check. I also fear they were paying her pathetically low wages OFF the BOOKS with zero benefits.

In fact, all babysitter abuse cases never report if it was a legal worker paid on the books and had references.

If the point here is that legal workers paid well don’t do this (and if the parents hired illegally they kinda ran this risk), I have to disagree.
Counterexample: there is a big recent case in China where a (Chinese) nanny was likely well paid / treated by a wealthy family, considering that parents had given her a $15k USD loan when she said she needed help paying for her parents housing or something along those lines, which is way more than most US families would do. She was in her 30s and had several nanny jobs before as well. Then one night, while the Dad is out of town, nanny (who is a live-in) sets the house on fire, killing mom and all 3 kids. Don’t think anyone could have predicted that kind of... evil? Psychotic break? Whatever it is, it wasn’t being illegal and paid below market.[/quote]
