Strange as this sounds my family had a teenage boy babysit us as kids. He did a great job. He was not gay or anything just extremely mellow for a boy. Still friends with him today. He’s married with grandkids.
He was the exception to the rule.
"was supposed to be asleep in her Brownsville, California home when she was playing with a toy Thursday afternoon." and she wasn't in her crib because?
When our daughter was old enough to work outside of just babysitting in our neighborhood our son took over for her. It was a testament as to how people trusted our kids and that confidence was well placed. The kids who are all grown now still keep in touch with our daughter and son. Makes this mama so proud.......;)
I babysat all the time when I was a teenage boy. My neighbors trusted me with their kids. Married with 4 kids now, youngest 17
