In need of a Nannycam...this is devestating! | Arthritis Information

Does anyone have any advice or can recommend a good nannycam? I cannot elaborate on this at this point but will state that there is a person who babysits the grandbaby occassionally and due to some circumstances and signs displayed a nannycam would be one option.

You may IM me if you prefer.

I don't know of any nanny camms. Sorry. But if you even have a slight concern about a baby sitter why not just fire the person imediatley? Why take the chances of leaving the child with that person.

I hope for you and your granchilds sake it isn't a family member because you can't exactly fire them.

Sorry that you have been put in that situation.

cah14182008-12-10 09:29:19This person is a relative and perhaps more unstable than we initially thought. IT is not a life threatening situation. Regardless, you are right....and this is exactly why a nannycam is an option,otherwise , like cah mentioned,there will be no hesitation of discontinuing the occassion babysitting. THis child WILL NOT EVER be in a compromising position...................EVER! I do not care how many hate crimes are against me...........my children and my grandchildren have been and always will be my highest priority.

I suppose I can ask around and look this stuff up on my own....I just thought maybe someone in AI land had some background or some knowledge of surveillence ( is that spelled right?) cameras.

It is a double edged sword isn't it? Proof is what you need but at what cost to the baby....there is no question about that. HE is now always with at least one other person in the home while this individual is there.

One good thing, they will not be in this area forever, no jobs in Michigan to support a family. My daughter will be applying for Nurses college ....a tough degree but more job opportunities...I may have to do the same thing.

I am trhe type of person that I will give up everything if I have to and be there for my daughter 24/7. TO me, that is not a problem or even a second thought.Then I WILL BE THE NANNYCAM!

Very sorry to hear this. Good luck to you.Sorry to hear of this also. Relatives can be tricky. But for little ones...I opt for a "0" tolerance policy. Good Luck. Jode,

You've talked about leaving before. I have a feeling I know who you are talking about and it definitely would make for a bad situation. Maybe this is a good time to put some thought and effort into actually leaving Michigan.

What about setting up a web cam on your computer? Is your computer in a good position where you might be able to catch the abuse if it were happening?

I am have two small children and my only advice is get your grandbaby out of there now. When it comes to abuse relation doesn't matter. So sorry that you and your daughter have to be in such an awful situation. I will say a prayer for them.no..

I am so sorry...

Please remove the potential opportunity..... you leave or DD leave and get grandchild out of harms way.....

I agree. Get the baby away from this. The baby cannot defend himself/herself. If you suspect, you must have some idea that something has happened. Follow your gut on this one Jode and take the baby and leave. Thnaks for the input....cannot and will not take the baby, he belongs to mommy and daddy and they are so very good to him and love him dearly. Jarek has wonderful, kind, caring, conscienscious, loving parents.

Cannot say more. Just asked about the nannycam info.

Jode,

I don't think people were suggesting you take the baby away from his mother, and you can't expect to post something like this and not have people express concern for the child. I hope and pray no abuse is happening and the child remains healthy, happy, and safe.

Hi Jode,

Sorry you have such a situation going on. I think there is so much child abuse in the world. way more than we know. kids can't talk or won't talk until they are much older and the damage has been done. there must be a reason you have to be discreet obviously. however, in doing so, the mind just runs wild and people start to fear for the safety of the child. too bad you don't have a cop friend or someone in law enforcement you can talk to about this situation.

I typed in nannycam and this is one of many I came up with. I don't have personal experience with using one. but sure wish I would have sinnce I had a nonverbal special needs child. hindsight is 20/20. now all I can do is wonder what really went on behind my back. but here's the web site and the best of luck to you. angels protect you and the baby.
