tlcox--Yours in an excellent post but we have to remember that women can sexually abuse too. The numbers are increasing daily. I would amend everything said above to say, "Parents, be cautious of who you leave your children with. Communicate, watch, question everything."
There are wonderful boyfriends, stepdads, uncles, and guy friends who would be delightful and caring with a toddler. They would not harm a child like this. There are many men who work with infants and children--child care providers, social workers, and those in the medical field. This man is horribly sick and demented. It's not about the sex. It was all about power and pedophilia.
I know, within my heart, that this man has had other victims. Oh, how I hope that every single child who has crossed his path is carefully checked out. My guess is that he offered to watch this child. Most likely he dated this woman expressly because her child fit a profile for him. My heart breaks for her tonight and all who loved this baby.
As the grandmother of a special little one who wasn't meant for this earth, I'm actually praying that this little girl be taken by the angels to fly above.

absolutely! My post was simply directed at mothers because I was so upset that this one was so comfortable introducing this man AND leaving him alone and in sole charge of her precious, nonverbal daughter.
It upsets me no end this continued lack or absence of the most basic maternal instinct in our daughters and sisters!
So, while I agree, I was just moved to speak from one mother to another and try to explain what I thought these young women should just KNOW in their hearts.
