Jim West just pointed us to another example of total depravity, this time a nanny who was fired after being caught on tape allegedly treating a couple’s infant twins roughly. Well, I watched the video and I’m sorry, but that ain’t rough.
-
One of the babies rolled off of the nanny’s lap right next to her on the couch, in between the nanny and the arm of the couch. Big deal.
-
She picks the babies up by their onesies. OK? So who doesn’t do that? That’s one of the joys of having babies, they’re little and you can pick them up by their clothes.
-
She leaves the babies on the couch while she goes in the kitchen. Again, what’s the big deal? I used to leave my daughter on the couch, on the recliner, and on the rocking chair (one of those big cushy ones, not a wooden one), and she was no worse for the wear. Sure, one of the babies fell forward, but they didn’t fall off of the couch.
-
And perhaps what could be considered the worst part of the video was the nanny holding one of the infants on her lap by their foot. Again, how is that rough? She wasn’t swining the kid by the foot, she wasn’t there for an extended period of time.
You’d think the way Jim talked about it that the nanny would have been caught beating the babies. The worst thing I saw was the apparent nose-picking while she held the infant upside down on her lap by the foot. But this was not abuse, it was not rough, and it was not totally depraved. It seems to me pretty standard as far as baby treatment goes. Anyone who says different needs to lighten up.
