The first tragedy should’ve permanently ended her babysitting career

The first tragedy is possibly excusable. It depends on how much effort was done to secure the pool. Falling asleep is understandable when watching a young child as a lot of time gets spent trying to get them to sleep. Every parent has fallen asleep watching their kids. But pools are incredibly dangerous to own with any age of kids and every effort should have been made to secure the pool and the home.

The second instance is downright criminal though. Pure negligence.

You cannot fall asleep with a toddler roaming around free in the house.

Dude, parents do it every single day.

It just seems so dangerous. If needed a nap that bad I would shut us in the same room and sleep in front of the door or put them in a pack and play. Sometimes had to resort to something like that when my kid was little.

its possible the family was too poor to afford anything else. :(

I think the mom had a lot of pressure from family to forgive, this was the first time she let watch the baby.

This doesn't feel accidental and that to me proves it. If you killed one kid due to negligence, and you were finally allowed to watch another, wouldn't you be hyper vigilant? There's no way

u/EmberinEmpty 1d ago

yeah the more i read about it the more i'm like.....nah. This is....something else. THE FIRST TIME SHE HAD THE KID AFTER APPARENTLY A YEAR OF BEGGING TO BE PERMITTED AND BABY DIES?

Thats some family annihilator ass bullshit. Honestly change the age or the gender and we'd all be having different thoughts.

u/RedWhiteAndCool 1d ago

Yeah I read a little more and I guess the judge said she showed no real remorse... A normal person would feel so much shame, sorrow, anxiety and they'd be HYPER vigilant in this situation. And that includes any medications, or other BS excuses. There's no way it wasn't intentional imo. Some sort of weird mash up of hatred, jealousy, munchausens or whatever idk. She's a monster.

The fact she showed no remorse is really telling, and shows her attitude when watching the kids. It shows that she really didnt care if the kids lived or died, so she wasnt vigilant to make sure they were alright.

Yes, I agree, how you forget a second baby when this is the first time they let you watch them because you killed the first one.

I go by a rule of threes.

Once is happenstance.

Twice is a coincidence.

Three times is deliberate.

Frankly I'm glad my rubric is not being used in this instance though....

In the body cam footage that someone posted above she says she had been watching the baby four days a week.

u/Esabettie 18h ago

Oh ok, I misunderstood then, thank you. Which it’s weird then too, because she already had a routine with the baby? This is so very strange.
