Should you have a hidden nanny cam?
I remember when my mom used a babysitter for my brother and I when we were small. My mom worked the evening shift at the nursing home in the town we lived in. My mom had a friend, whose daughter was a high school kid trying to make some extra money. The first couple of times she babysat us, she was cool, fun and i liked her but one night my mom left for work and my brother was upset and wouldn't stop crying. She ended up sending him to bed with no supper that night. Once my mom found that out, let's just say she never came to our house again after that! LOL Thank God, that was the only thing she did. Imagine her getting so upset with my brother and hitting him?
Crazy to imagine that right? Well, believe it or not, it happens so often with babysitters, nannies, and even day care workers. So many case of child abuse have been on the news the last few years and these nannies who are supposed to be like a mother figure to these children when their mother is absent, were not taking their jobs seriously. Children were being beat and mistreated and they were too young to let anyone know! How sad. It makes me sick the way other people can treat children.
So with all this happening some people actually set up hidden cameras in their house so they can see what is going on when they're not there. Alot of families find very disturbing things on these nanny cams and end up firing their nannies or even worse getting them arrested and charged! These kind of things being spread all around the internet, makes me so skeptical of me ever sending my children to daycare and if a babysitter is needed, my family watches my children. If i had no choice and had to settle on a babysitter or nanny, you bet your butt i would be putting cameras all over the place! I would make them visible too, so they know not to even try to mess with my kids!I do not take any chances with strangers, especially with all these child abuse and child cruelty cases happening so often.
Has anyone heard of these horrible things going on? Does anyone have a nanny or use a babysitter? If so, do you use a nanny cam when they are with your children?

If this was my child the camera and police would be the last thing she would have to worry about:
Insane rite?
if we ever needed a babysitter and it was someone we didn't know very well, the whole house would be rigged with visible cameras, hidden cameras, and anything else we feel we need to be some what comfortable leaving the kids with them. even websites like care.com had some bad incidents circling around facebook and the internet, that people were lying on their profiles and pretending to be other people. its so sad and scary that people do this and because these people do bad thing and scare children, it makes it so hard to raise children in this world without being scared of everything. Im very honest and open with my kids, i dont sugar coat things so with that being said my 5 year old is very attentive and listens well to my husband and i especially when we are out in public. she knows that not everyone is nice and that there are some people out there that arent very nice at all..
thanks jkeyz for the video, makes me angry to see that especially to a baby....18 months old.!!!!! come on. i mean i can understand frustration but she didnt even try to walk away and calm herself down before returning to the child. grrrr!
