La. sitter charged with baby's death in dryer
In both I have to wonder, what the hell? For the former, this just further solidifies why I think that having guns in your home is a tragic, senseless, irresponsible decision—especially hand guns and anything loaded. If you have to have a gun or rifle or shotgun, keep it unloaded for pity's sake and the bullets far, far away from any little fingers. I have no objection to people having a rifle or shotgun for hunting, although I do not personally like it (disclaimer, the spouse does have a rifle for hunting and I grew up around this, so I am not a crazy, never seen a gun, yet despise them nut, I have seen them, touched them, shot them and still hate them). Having a loaded gun in your car or home is only asking for trouble.
The latter story just makes me weep. Dear lord, how stupid and clueless was this babysitter to think that was an okay thing? I want to ask if she was raised right or if she just isn't bright. That is simply unconsciousable behavior and if the claim is true, simply appalling. I feel for the family that lost the child and for the babysitter when she finally realizes the horror of what she has done, if she ever does.

i couldn't even read both stories. ok, NOW you see why i don't let people babysit my kids. and the gun thing? i also don't like guns. the hubs has one (it was his grandfather's) but it is not loaded (i don't even know if we own bullets for it). i also have been around guns, and was forced to taking hunter's safety in middle school science class (in PA) and shoot a gun.
hunter's safety in middle school? now that terrifies me.
