|
-- Police said that a baby-sitter botched her first day on the job, when she accompanied home the wrong 5-year-old from elementary school. Sgt. David Cannan said that the woman escorted Angel Guerrero from school without checking out what the child she was going to take care of looked like. When Angel's grandmother came to pick-up the boy, she was told that someone already did. The police issued a missing child alert for the boy with his name and photograph on several TV channels. Strangely enough, the baby-sitter was unaware of any wrong doing, until her employers came home. Cannan told Cnews.com, "The baby-sitter said 'This is your son,' and the parents said, 'No, this is not our son.' " When the parents saw the picture of the missing boy on TV, they called the police. School officials did not realize there was a mix-up since Angel was willing to leave with the woman; ironically, the boy who needed to be picked up waited for hours until the staff called his uncle to come and get him. Cannan said, "There's a lesson here...What an opportunity to tell parents to talk to their kids, and communicate with their caregivers. This young child was full of trust, and he sees an older, caring adult and just walked off with that person."
