Babysitter in Glasgow abandoned disabled girl outside

Quote:
A babysitter has admitted abandoning a disabled six-year-old outside overnight in temperatures just above freezing, wearing only socks and a dressing gown.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the girl, who is deaf and blind, suffered hypothermia and almost died.
Kate Harper, 26, strapped the youngster into her pram and went to sleep in a nearby house after a fireworks party in Kingspark, Glasgow, last November.

I can't imagine what the parents felt about this..

Re: Babysitter in Glasgow abandoned disabled girl outside

On the face of it, how could anyone (parents and/or babysitter) be so irresponsible!!!

At least the parents had a babysitter while they were out(possibly at a Tapas restaurant?).

Yes, let's make a cheap joke/point at the expense of

Just another case, not relevant to this poor child's misfortune...

Which is why the sterilisation comment was thrown about, would she be any better with her own?

Re: Babysitter in Glasgow abandoned disabled girl outside

I don't think that they knew she had taken her out.
