Why would a responsible babysitter let the kids play on rail road tracks,? I used to play on them but I was 12 years old, I know it’s still very dangerous but younger children with a babysitter nor making ng sense or babysitter has no senses.
Agree
Agree as well.
This don’t make sense if the babysitter was RESPONSIBLE this wouldn’t of happened in the 1st place
Sad situation, could have been avoided. Prayers to everyone affected.
For mother & child my prayers go out. What a horrible thing to happen at this time or any other. For the male & other child I pray also. Everyone is right - this makes no sense!!! Please, Tom , ask your contacts to keep us all updated. We are all saddened by this as well as bewildered.
Jail time pending for baby sitter, right?
