Maid Abuse Alert!

Back from the seminar and with daddy tugging Renee to bed('cos he has early golf game tomorrow, so he's sleeping with her), I wanna take this opportunity to put up this post pertaining to the header so as to share this further. This afternoon, the minute I was referred to the URL link(video) below, I had quickly forwarded them over to some friends' email accounts, hoping that they could warn whoever they knew about trusting their helpers too much. I/We can't say that all maids are bad, but hey, one can never be too careful...and no-one, I'm sure, would like to find out the hard way.

I have, on numerous accounts, been forwarded/told/referred to videos of different maids abusing the children they've been left to take care of. And from real life stories heard, you would really be shocked to death for what you couldn't imagine or even comprehend how/what a human being could do to another, let alone, to a young helpless child!

I always have to try very very very hard to put these scenes I've watched from the videos behind me but they're just tooo disturbing! Although this particular incident(in the abv link's video) had happened in another country but who's saying that non of these have taken place in here? And of cos, the maid later claimed that she's been abused by her employers, yes, they're equally inhuman and wicked(if they really did) but hving sufferred/tolerated such abuse as an adult herself, how could she bring herself to do that or even anything else to a young helpless child! Just looked at how the poor kid got kicked in the face, fell back and the maid even hopped on her(looks like a girl?)! It appeared that it's had gotten so bad that the girl needed to go pee - lost control of the bladder? Geez! Internal injuries! The extreme came when the poor child still held out her hand to the torturer, to be led to the toilet? Oh man, that's how defenceless she is, to have to trust that shitty maid for her needs...

Yes, I'm upset, I'm emotional but which human being wouldn't be? Daddy had always been against the idea of Renee being placed with a childcare centre(half or full day) for me to do some of my work and He is dead against me going back to my work full time and leave our girl to a maid(without the supervision of another trusted adult). With such things happening around, seen/heard, I'm sure any pair of parents, with the ability for either spouse to stay home to look after their child(ren), would surely not want to leave their precious-es home with the maid. On this, I feel that I'm truly lucky that daddy is able to provide for us so I can look after Renee full time and I seriously hope/pray that the day for me to have to go to work and leave the full time care of Renee to a maid will NEVER NEVER happen... Imagine the agony of having to worry sick about your kid at home with a 'stranger' of no family relations to you, whilst tending to your work duties, be it light or worse, heavy headed stuffs.

Anyway, this is not a post against the hiring of maids, if you have 2 or more kids and need help on the house-chores & could afford it, I suppose they do come in handy(esp. if they're 'good'). What I'm getting at here is, don't entrust your kid(s) to their care alone, without supervision...
