Shocking Business - Parents be Cautious...

Lion_King
By Lion_King

A maid regularly drugged the seven-month old baby in her care and rented him out for Rs100/- a day. Every day the kid was taken by street beggars well supported by begging racket run by a mafia. The outrageous act was revealed when the mother returned home earlier than expected and found the child was missing. Upon questioning the maid, she revealed the complete story.

Working parents often depend on maids and leave the kids under their "safe custody" during the day. But in the fast moving cycle of life parents often fail to double check on maids and sometimes the symptoms/abnormal behaviours of toddlers remain unnoticed.

Its better to have someone from our own families to take care of the children or frequent visits to home to check will be pretty good to keep things in track

Once in Kuwait a maid took around the child she was caring for and she happened to go to a relatives house who recognized the child he was dirty and in ripped clothing, she claimed they were homeless and hungry. How ridiculous the things people do to make money. Another scam was the maid kept repacking household goods, like soap, detergent and selling it in the neighborhood, my friend wondered why her bill was soooooooooooooo high. The are more ways to scam people than your imagine can. Their are nanny cams I even see them for sale here in Qatar.

yeah tess

i do this and my wife too,

sudden checks in non patterned timing is the best to find out if anything wrong.

still, not only the maids that we have to be aware of with our children, even relatives and friends, everything is becoming crazy in this world.

Yalla!

It is not all that easy to find a trustworthy maid nowadays. Even if you think you have a good caring maid, you need to be right on top of them to monitor their freedom, activities and local connections. A surprise visit at times and continuous monitoring would allow you to assess the situation and act accordingly.

It is not easy to trust someone with your child. You have to be really careful, but you can't always cover all the bases.
