If the nanny bit the kid, she knew she'd get caught, if her head was on even that straight.

I don't get this: I suspect my nanny of doing something to make my 4 month old unhappy, because my 4-month-old shows fear of her. It's not stranger anxiety--it's open fear. Rather than sacking the nanny, right then and there, I install a hidden camera. Then I don't check it for a month (why? too busy?) until the now 5 month old turns up with a bite mark. Whoa, abuse there. Call police. Hello???

That's a month of torture done to a baby too little to even crawl...and they may say they didn't see it coming, but they did.

This seems very like baby-left-in-hot-car-by-busy-parents to me. She should be dead. It looks to me like this woman was trying to kill her.

I agree, it looked that way. Thank God they say that the child was not seriously harmed, but so many others have been!

The parents claim that they did everything right - went through a thorough interviewing process, hired through an agency, etc. - it's crazy that they didn't immediately get rid of the nanny when they suspected abuse, but there have been at least 5 cases in the last few years that I remember where the parents did exactly the same thing...suspected abuse, installed video equipment (WITHOUT TELLING THE NANNY) and then saw the horrible result. I don't get it either.

They didn't WANT to see it. Their jobs were too important to them to be able to see it. Wanna bet that their precious child is right now in the care of another nanny?
