Reply #11: yeah but gets background info on their babysitter?

[pitohui]

i was hired as a babysitter at 12 yrs old, fuck, there wasn't any "background" on me to get

we need some kind of nat'l childcare in this country, but as it is, if you go thru a service, it's more than "real" people can afford to pay

and if you just hire some kid under the table, ok, most of the time, most people even kids are well meaning, hell, even my brother did some baby sitting in his day and trust me not to make porn movies with the kids but because it's a job you can do w.out any much physical labor unlike lawncare or something...

in an ideal world everyone would be all vetted and in return receive AT LEAST the min. pay scale for a job, but it ain't an ideal world

many of us on DU probably worked as babysitters under the table and weren't vetted, yet we somehow restrained ourselves from molesting the brats in our care

don't blame the victims for not having money or not being private detectives, blame the perp for being a creep

craigslist is certainly not to blame for any of it, it's a valid way to advertise your services

should everyone who puts an ad on craigslist now be assumed to be a pornographer, crap, i hope not!
