I Put A Dog Shock Collar Around My Neck And Got My Babysitter Fired

So I was reading this awful story today about this crazy lady in Texas.

NBC Dallas A 60-year-old woman is under arrest, accused of unnecessarily medicating and restricting several children inside a home daycare in Mesquite, according to court documents obtained by NBC 5.

Rebecca Anderson was arrested Saturday, a day after police executed a search warrant at her home/daycare on the 4300 block of Tamarix Court and found nine children inside, some bound and restricted.

Police said after further investigation it was believed that Anderson not only mistreated the children, but evidence led investigators to believe she exposed them to unnecessary doses of over-the-counter medicine, extended periods of restricted movement and poor hygiene practices.

According to the arrest warrant, the father of a 6-month-old boy reviewed video on Thursday taken from a small camera that was mounted on the child’s car seat. The video, police said, showed Anderson yank the boy out of the car seat, pick him up off the ground using the bib tied around his neck and feed him an “unknown substance using a plastic liquid syringe.”

After the father showed the video to Mesquite police, detectives obtained a search warrant for Anderson’s home. Inside the home detectives found three children strapped to plastic car seats in a darkened master bedroom closet and one more in the master bathroom.

Anderson initially told police that there were just five children in the home before the four others were discovered, the warrant said.

Anderson also admitted “she had likely given Tylenol to all of the children,” according to the warrant, and that she left the children in the car seats for as many as seven hours each day.

 The arrest warrant also said detectives found “shoelace-like ligatures” tied around the children’s necks — and that some of the ties had to be cut off. Anderson admitted she tied the ligatures onto the children to limit their movement.

Yikes. As a former babysitter, let me be the first to say that her discipline tactics are disgusting. Never tie the kids up. That’s babysitting 101. True story: when I was a kid, we got an invisible fence for our dog on the same day that I needed a babysitter. I was like 6.  This teenager from the neighborhood came over (about 15 minutes late), and when my parents left for their date, he put the dog’s shock collar on me. Had me cross the fence “just to see what it felt like”. Very glad this game just involved a shock collar. Needless to say, 6 year olds are crybabies and I snitched on that babysitter as soon as my parents got home. Luckily for the kid, my parents only fired him. Many parents would have called the cops, but not mine. My parents had a firm belief that if I was dumb enough to put on a shock collar, then I deserved to be shocked. It taught me a lesson. And I’m smarter and tougher today because of it. They just didn’t like that the babysitter was late.

Anyways, back to this devil of a lady. If this story had to happen somewhere, I’m glad it was in Texas. Because that means we’re going to get some good old fashioned Texas Justice.

justice

Natives of Texas will tell you, whether you ask or not, how great their state is. Especially their criminal justice system. They focus on punishment, rather than rehabilitation. Eye for an eye. Well, in this case, I feel that an eye for an eye is the most deserving type of sentence, too. Let’s rehash the mistreatment of children that this lady is accused of. (Accused of is probably too light of a term here – I understand innocent until proven guilty, but also she is on camera because a dad hid a camera on his six-month old for the day)

– Yanking a baby out of his car seat to give him a substance with a plastic syringe

– Keeping children in their car seats all day

– Shutting the kids in the closet

– Tying shoelaces around their neck to restrict movement

– Giving all of the kids unnecessary doses of Tylenol

Since this is Texas, this lady should only receive her food out of a syringe from now on. She should have to ride in a car seat for the rest of her life. Must stay in a closet from 8-5 each day. Be in a full body cast to restrict movement. And well, let’s keep her off drugs so she really understands the effects of her actions.
