A man's screw up can land you in jail as a woman

So let me summarize...

As far as I understand from the comments she wasn't even the nanny but the father's girlfriend and he hadn't asked her to watch the kid. She was just there.

Then - after she had pulled the child away and warned it and the dad multiple times - the toddler fell into a river(?) and she desperately called the dad to save the child because she couldn't swim. So... they seriously expected her to jump in and risk drowning ... because there is totally a chance to save a drowning person in a cold, fast river as a non-swimmer. And of course she was sentenced and the dad testified against her in court. That poor woman.

But obviously women are automatically responsible and expected to risk their life for any children around them, even if they don't even know them. We have all experienced it, haven't we? People just handing you a baby or a toddler with the expectation that you will be thrilled to watch them or even total strangers being mad at you because you were randomly nearby when their children did something stupid or dangerous and you didn't watch them and intervene?

When I still worked in a customer service position (that had absolutely nothing to do with children or babysitting!!!) I have had people straight up abandon their children (like leave a baby or toddler in a stroller next to my station or send kids over to me with "that nice lady will watch you while mommy goes to the doctor next door) and leave and then come back all enraged when they notice I didn't just start to babysit a strange child for free.

Absolutely awful. How the eff was she the one that went to jail, and not the dad? Also, I cannot freaking stand how dad's fight for custody only to pawn the kids off on others. They are ONLY doing it for social media accolades ("superdad!") and lower child support. My ex initially won 50/50 custody and how did that work out? He let his addict then-girlfriend (now in jail for murder because she sold a dude meth-laced fentanyl, killing him) and other felons "babysit" the kids while he and his friends did drugs in the bathroom or went on drug runs.

I've had sole physical custody for 6 years now, but I'll never get over the pain of knowing my children weren't safe and there was nothing I could do about it.

I didn't read that article, but there are other ways a man's behavior can land the woman in jail. I've got too many examples from my last RL.

Here we go

A woman who allows a man with a child to foist parenting duties upon her assumes responsibility and consequences for whatever happens to said child while in her care. Not him, her.

Should you find yourself in this situation, refuse. Don't spare his feelings. He needs to raise his child, not you. Don't take this child anywhere in your vehicle, bathroom, nowhere. You will be held responsible and accountable every single time.

There, I said it.

You can be sure as sh-t that Father of the Year isn't informing the mother about this. No mother would be on board with another woman - who is no more than just another stop on the way - to drive her child around wherever that person pleases, etc. God forbid there is an accident as in the case here, the outcome is on whoever the child was in care of. Hell hath no fury like a mother.

Also, custody agreements establish that custody time belongs to the parent, not who they transfer it to. Transportation and care is on the parent whose custody time is scheduled. Blood relatives are one thing, but whatever passes through that revolving door? Nope.

the title “father” needs to be reserved for men who do more than just jizz into a vagina….like actually parent, support and lift up their children.
