Being a parent is a full-time job, but every once in a while even parents need a night off for themselves without any temper tantrums, spit-up, or dirty diapers, which is why parents will pay good money for a reliable babysitter.
One Oregon couple, Joshua Marbury and Alicia Quinney, were in desperate need of some baby-free time and called up their regular babysitter so they could have the night to themselves while their 1-year-old son Jacob was safely being looked after at home.
Mom and dad were having a great time on their date night, but when they arrived home, they found their babysitter asleep and their son screaming. They weren’t happy with what they found but it was nothing compared to what they found the next morning.
When Jacob woke up the next morning, bruises had appeared all over his body, including one on his face in the shape of a hand. However, two months has passed since the traumatic night and police refuse to file charges against the babysitter since Jacob can’t speak and say what happened.
“TWO months ago if not longer my 1-year-old son was smacked across the right side of his face by our babysitter (keep this person anonymous) to the point where MULTIPLE doctors (who in fact showed us hand prints) and the detective said it could have killed him,” Joshua wrote in a post to Facebook in response to the police’s failure to file charges even after the babysitter confessed.
“Something needs to be done. NOBODY can just hit a child and more to just get away with it because the child can’t verbally tell you,” Joshua wrote in his post, which has been shared over 250,000 times.
