And while there's really not a lot of easy, foolproof ways of predicting to whom such a psychiatric event will happen, it is somewhat comforting that such a thing is incredibly rare. Awful, awful, awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363960 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 12:12:21 +0000 pinkcupcake 363960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Horrific... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363945 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:52:38 +0000 Grace 363945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow.

How do I go about performing a background check? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363214 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:47:38 +0000 Mrsbells 363214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The really sickening thing is all the horrible comments I am seeing from people on news sites, criticizing the mom for having a nanny. Just sick </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363043 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:14:16 +0000 charlotte 363043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, that's the terrifying part to me - that background check or not / long length of time or not there is no way to REALLY know someone or what frame of mind they are in. just the idea that someone can be capable of such a terrible thing. the whole story breaks my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363030 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:07:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 363030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made this mistake of reading about this before bed last night, and held Evan extra close to me.</p> <p>So sad. I can't even begin to comprehend what they're going through right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363022 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:59:52 +0000 pregnantbee 363022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrifying. I really shouldn't have read the article. Will be thinking of the mom and the rest of the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-363003 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:54:13 +0000 alayaya 363003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This story is so sad and disturbing. I can't believe anyone would ever do that to anyone, let alone 2 innocent children </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362898 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:03:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 362898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The fact that they went above and beyond to get to know the nanny by meeting her family in the Dominican Rep is what makes it even more disturbing for me. </p> <p>The mom blogged, she could have been among us here. I'll have a hard time getting this story out of my head for awhile ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362869 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:54:26 +0000 SAHM0811 362869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nanny's name is Yoselyn Ortega; they called her Josie. Background check or not, she had no criminal record. The family went to her home in DR for 9 days with her earlier this year. This is just an extremely sad story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362758 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:03:46 +0000 meredithNYC 362758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like there is a ton of conflicting information out there right now.</p> <p>I had trouble sleeping last night just thinking about these poor people and how their lives will never be the same. Rationally, I know that it's a freak thing, but still, it is a parent's worst nightmare come true. I also feel heartbroken for the sister who lived. What a sad, terrible story to carry with you for the rest of your life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362743 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:55:40 +0000 Mrsbells 362743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yeah I agree, I think more disturbing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362740 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:54:50 +0000 Maysprout 362740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Nanny in the story has a different last name than the nanny said they went to DR with it seems like. </p> <p>So horrific. The poor children, the poor family. It's so hard to believe that someone can just flip a switch like that and so scary that it does happen and people can hide their incredible darkness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362690 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:34:26 +0000 Andrea 362690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Can't decide if that makes it more or less disturbing ... I guess more since they already knew the nanny well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc/page/2#post-362684 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:32:51 +0000 Mrsbells 362684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: No I read they have had that nanny for a year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362682 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:32:02 +0000 emg86 362682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was left speechless last night when I heard about this story. Absolutely heartbreaking. I can't even begin to imagine what this family is going through.</p> <p>@Andrea I've seen and heard multiple reports that the nanny had been with the family for a year, but I think there's several conflicting reports on some of those details. I did hear that the family had recently been to the Dominican Republic with her and met her family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362674 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:28:32 +0000 JoJoGirl 362674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The NYT said they just got back from visiting/staying with the nanny's *family* in the Dominican Republic and considered her family.. I'm relatively sure she'd been with them longer than 2 days. I guess the mom had posted that on her blog. This is so horrific :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362671 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:26:39 +0000 mrbee 362671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think it's ok to worry! But all you can do is take every possible precaution... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362667 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:25:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 362667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @charlotte: And, there are thousands and thousands of nannies in NYC, and this is unheard of. That's what I'm telling myself. It's just a horrible, freak, thing, but not indicative of something you should worry about happening to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362664 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:24:30 +0000 Andrea 362664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that the nanny had only been with them for 2 days? I wonder if they did a background check on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362661 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:22:39 +0000 mrbee 362661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: You can do lots of reference checks, and a criminal background test on your nanny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362660 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:22:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 362660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish they wouldn't use pictures of the kids. It's just too sad already. I mean, I want more info, but they are combing through the family's facebook pages and linked in profiles, plus the blog... I know it is all out there for public consumption, but it just feels too invasive right now. It's just so, so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362659 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:21:43 +0000 charlotte 362659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is one of the worst stories i've ever heard. I cannot imagine......</p> <p>and.. I'm not usually someone who applies the news to myself and says "what if that happened to me" but being pregnant with my 1st and planning on getting a nanny so I can go back to work... I just can't help but be so scared. how can we trust anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362654 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:19:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 362654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the article. I'm in shock. When they described the acorns, I thought of Mrs. Bee's post about Charlie. I can not help but tear up. I would go crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362652 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:18:00 +0000 Mrsbells 362652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have pictures of the children on ABC.

So so so messed up :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-stabs-and-kills-2-children-in-nyc#post-362648 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:14:23 +0000 Modern Daisy 362648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know.. I went to see why there were helicoptors everywhere on my way home from the grocery store last night and the scene was unfolding - NYPD detectives everywhere and the street was blocked off. I could barely sleep last night thinking about those poor babies. The Mom had a blog about "The little Krim kids" and it's absolutely heartbreaking to read :( </p>
