Babysitter kills toddler - just up the street from me. [View all]

It is really hard to handle this kind of thing when it is so close to home. It's easy to push it out of mind when it's somewhere else. Seems to be happening a lot recently. People are stressed and taking it out on toddlers. That is a difficult age but you don't kill the kid.

I guess the babysitterr just got too mad and bashed his head with something. He had been babysitting for some time while the mother was at work during the day.

The mother said she had noticed bruises before but just thought he was anemic and was going to take him to the doctor.

I live in kind of a poor neighborhood. The houses are really small and the rent is still affordable.

This is so sickening. I am just heartsick.
