that's sad... some reason I'm more on the Nanny's side than the child's...
child seems like a jerk and just a plain moron...
I feel for the nanny... oh well... don't know... maybe we'll never know...

I spent 2 hours yesterday with FIFTEEN 3-4 year olds for my nephew's birthday. From what i observed, they want something for all of 5 minutes, cry when they don't get their way, it escalates into a tantrum and then something else catches their eye.
"child seems like a jerk and just a plain moron" He's 4 years old !! Are you kidding me? If he doesn't know better, then teach him. But she stripped because he asked and she was too overworked to argue. Take a break, a vacation, hell, 10 mins crying on the floor of the bathroom, whatever floats your boat. But if she's @ the point where a 4 year old is pushing her around, she needs to step back for a minute and realize how F***ed she must be. And if she can't do that, then she shouldn't be taking care of children.

dang! chill don't have to be aggressive... I'm just saying the child seemed like a jerk...
in my time I've met young kids who want sex... in lementary... don't know a thing about it...
times are changing and people aren't raising their children...
however in this case then yes I understand she could've told the kid to do elsewhere...
but I'm at least having some mercy on the nanny...
oh well I'm a bit tired of typing cause I have my view and you have yours...
I'm just keeping in mind that it's the boy who felt the nanny and not the nanny who felt the boy...
cyaz around...

The story says she let him touch her, I wonder what he touched boobs or beaver.

Apparently it was both.

Mottos for pedophiles? "I've met kids who wanted sex" He was 4 years old, she may not be a perv, but that was definitely wrong. As an adult you don't give into a 4 year old's whims. Remember that before you show your wiener to to the first kid that asks.

Some kids, even at the age of 4, if theyve been raised irresponsibly are bad seeds and are really difficult to deal with. Its certainly no excuse for what the nanny did, but I can still see how she didn't feel sexually toward it, but more like a mother would, expecially when she spent all the kids waking hours with him while the parents are elsewhere. No one has bothered to tell the kid, after the fact, that he shouldn't demand people to take off their clothes, they've pampered him and told him it was all someone else's fault and he's just a perfect little angel. He's gonna grow up to be a complete psyco.

I wonder how naked she was. The article says she removed her shirt and jeans, doesn't say anything about going further. Would it be different if she was all the way in her birthday suit as opposed to just in underwear?

Must have been a nice surprise for the father.

Mercy is an important element lacking in our criminal justice system, and 15 years in prison is just a tad harsh for such an infraction, but the "'child seems like a jerk and just a plain moron?'" He's 4 years old !! Are you kidding me?"

You're right, she's pretty stupid but is that to say that she's a sexual predator? I mean she didn't DO anything other than take some clothes off. She obviously shouldn't have but I don't think it's an issue of jail time as much as counselling and some therapy.

You're right, it seems the kid hasn't been disciplined enough or at a young enough age. At 4 I would think it would be a tough battle to straighten him out now.

My son is in the terrible two's and it is hard. Very hard. I had one of the toughest days of my life yesterday dealing with him. Thinking back, I can't think of any day I've had that was tougher than yesterday. He didn't get enough sleep the night before and compound that with the general frustration a 2 year old has struggling to communicate and you've got a volatile situation.

He is testing his boundaries and I have to be there when he crosses the line. For example, any hitting, biting or scatching is an instant timeout no questions asked. The problem some parents have is they aren't consistent and I don't blame them for it. Sometimes at the end of the day when you're exhausted and your kid throws a mini-fit and sorta hits you it's alot easier to let it slide than to put them in timeout. I'm hoping consistency will pay off in the long run.

There are very defined rules in my household and when they are crossed the penalty is timeout. I don't believe in spanking since one of the behaviors I'm trying to discipline is hitting. It wouldn't make much since to a 2 year old if I'm smacking him for smacking me.

It's very difficult to keep your cool when a child is in hysterics, but you have to be the adult.

What Would Ricky Do if his son asked to see the baby sitter naked?
