N.C. Mom Busts Negligent Babysitter On Nanny Cam
Mom Fired Nanny On The Spot
NEW YORK (CBS News) ― Earlier this month, Lindsay Addison, of North Carolina, had to leave her twin boys, 7-month-old Bryce and Gavin, at home to head back to work after maternity leave.At the office Addison accessed her new nanny cam on her computer and started to see things she didn't like.
There was the nanny, a woman who came with glowing references and who had professed love for the boys, handling the twins like rag dolls.
"I'm screaming there at my desk, 'pick him up, pick him up,' and she proceeds to look at him and continue on doing whatever she was doing," Addison said.
That went on for six minutes, Addison said. She then rushed home and fired the nanny on the spot.
"She couldn't get out of the house fast enough," Addison said.
Unfortunately for Addison, the mistreatment was not just an isolated incident.
On the nanny-cam video, the nanny is seen repeatedly mishandling the boys. In one segment, one of the boys rolls between couch cushions while the nanny uses the TV remote.
Based on the video, Addison found that time after time, the nanny picked up the boys by one arm, by their clothing, and even dangled one child by his foot.
For Addison, the nanny cam was the best $300 she ever invested.
"I probably never would have suspected, never would have known, and she would still be here had I not had the camera. And it scares me to think what could have happened to my children," she said.
