According to MSM she called Friday at 10 am. What leaves me scratching my head are the parents who call and do not ask to speak to their children.
I've never talked to anyone caring for my child and not also spoke to my child during the same phone call. If I were getting excuses repeatedly that someone was not letting me talk to my child it would raise an alarm.
I think the problem is that everyone is looking at this in terms of what they, as a parent, would do. Obviously, TS is a different kind of parent.
As a teenager I began babysitting for a newborn. The "Mother" was an acquaintance of the ex-wife of a relative of ours.
This baby's "Mother" left her two week old baby with me (I was 13 at the time) for a week while she went on a trip with a boyfriend across country. Of course, I had a mother who helped me take care of the baby and let me keep all the money.
I continued taking care of this little one at least every weekend until I reached about 17, or my mother watched her. Many times we took care of her free of charge or kept her for days or weeks at a time - because we knew if we didn't, her "Mother" would leave her with anyone - and by that I mean ANYONE who would take her so that she could go out and use drugs, drink, and find a man to have sex with. She was not much of a mother. She just shouldn't of had a child. Her needs were #1 - the child always was pawned off on anyone she could find, for as long as they'd take her.
That is the type of woman she was.
Anyhow when I was in high school and got a real job, this person found another girl to watch the child. This new sitter was nice, I met her and so didn't feel badly for not taking the little girl on weekends all the time any longer.
When the new sitter got a job and couldn't be there 24/7 to babysit, the "Mother" started leaving the little girl with this other babysitters boyfriend - even overnight. Of course I didn't know about it at the time, nor did my mom. We learned of it much later, after finding out he had been molesting her for a long long time.
I've never left my girls with anyone other than my sister, who lives in a different state than I do. When I had to go to hospital to have my children, I would pay for her trip and she'd come and take care of my babies. I have trust issues.
I certainly would never have a man babysit my children. ever. ever.
but that is me -- this woman we are talking about is, I suspect, very much like this person I babysat for - and unfortunately the child paid a terrible price.
Sad but true.
