This is so wrong on so many levels and the age is shocking. I will say, I can’t imagine letting my little girl with a teenage boy, not in today’s world. Thinking about it, how many teenage boys seek babysitting jobs? Maybe I’m out of the loop on this but I’ve never known any. In no way blaming anyone but him, it was just my thoughts went right to a boy babysitter as odd.

IMHO this should have been a red flag. That's pretty darn specific!!! I'd be like... my 7 yo is too old or my 3 yo is too young? Hmmmm.... my hinky meter is clanging!

Investigators found an ad in a babysitting group where Smith said he was looking to babysit children between the ages of 4-6
