It seems the authors at I Saw Your Nanny have the number on negligent nannies and are letting us know about it. Reading this blog elicits the same visceral thrill that comes when we see those child predators hauled away on MSNBC’s To Catch a Predator. My favorite: Dr. Pepper in the tippy cup.
It would appear that, for better or worse, following what people are doing to our kids has become something of a full-contact sport. While the perverse entertainment derived from watching an animal walk into a trap is of marginal value, it must be balanced with the belief that this type of oversight is somehow making a difference. It seems the same Internet that feeds the fantasy compulsions of child predators may ultimately conspire to catch them. And derelict nannies may finally get their due.
