we trust these people to care for our children!!!

[rhubarbyou2]

am probably in some form of shock that a nursery worker,who is a mother herself could do this,and the sickness in my stomach i feel for the children and parents of the children who she cared for,its devastating. this has hit me quite hard probably more so that again today my husband has been late home from work,but this time its because how scary is this,hes had to remove a caretaker out of a primary school because he was behaving inappropriately with young girls,an invetigation will follow and what they will uncover i dont know,but i tell you what i'll be even more clingy who i trust my children with,its madness !!!

The majority of people who work with children are decent human beings with no intention of abusing the children in their care. Remember that the biggest risk (numerically) to children's wellbeing is road accidents and when it coes to violent abuse, it's their families they need to look out for (don't forget, 1 in 4 women experience domestic violence, 2 women a week killed by partners, far more children are damaged by domestic violence than by professional careworkers).
Yes, horrible case (if it's all true, remember you don't know yet) but not a justification for stopping all paid childcare and forcing women back into the home or anything.

I think you have to get it in proportion-this is top news story because it is so unusual. The majority of abuse happens in the home with people they know-it doesn't happen in nurseries.
