Babysitter Sleeps While Kid Plays Among the Alligators

Posted by JeanneSager

Your babysitter was never this bad - trust me. 

A Florida sitter fell asleep on the toilet while her two-year-old charge went out and wandered around in an alligator-infested canal. 

According to some reports, the boy was wearing nothing but a shirt and covered in feces when he was spotted and promptly rescued. When police got to the house, they say they found his babysitter on the toilet - passed out - and a bottle of oxycodone. The sitter, Brandy Albright, was woken up by police and placed under arrest for child endangerment, while the boy has been returned to his mom. 

Unless you live in Florida or another coastal area of the country, you likely don't have to worry that your kid is going to be out playing with the alligators when you aren't home. But does a sitter really have to be told not to take drugs while they're watching your kid? There's a warning about not operating heavy machinery while taking these drugs on that bottle for a reason. 

Just remember this one the next time you want to complain about your sitter. At least he or she remains upright throughout the day. If not, it's time you get yourself a new sitter!

Gosh, the babysitter looks a lot like the rapist/murderer (alleged!) in the recent California kidnapping!

This is a horrible story. The worst babysitter ever is little to say. This is why every parent should pay attention when they choose their babysitter, so that they can trust her.
