My girlfriend has a four year old little sister and their mom picked a candidate she thought was a good babysitter. It is one of my girlfriend's school pals and we will call him John. John and the mother are pretty close from an incident that happened awhile back and so she trusted him to babysit her child. So last night i go over to my girlfriend's house to hang out while John is babysitting and i find out that he has gone out that night alone not to mention the hundred of times he has babysat before and gotten high with his friends while the baby was in the car. On top of that he went off roading with her and got in a wreck while she was in the car. Now the child doesn't know any different so she wasnt gonna say anything but i sure did. I went off on him about endangering the life of a four year old child.
This morning i went over there and took over babysitting responsibilities with my girlfriend and even though it was hell and free work i did it for about 12 hours. I talked to my girlfriend and we told her mom when she came home tonight about some of it, just enough to get him off the babysitting list. All i know is that when you are babysitting you are responsible for the life of another human being and if at any moment your judement lapses you are not only responsible for yourself but now that child or children so I say you get something done about this because who knows what might happen next time.
