Choosing child care can be such a difficult process for parents. All we want is for our kids to feel the same love and comfort they have when they’re with us. Some families choose a day care<\/a> center, while others prefer a private nanny or babysitter. It’s a personal choice<\/a> and one that must feel right for each family. A mom in Reddit’s Mommit sub thought she’d found the ideal setting for her 3-year-old son, but she recently found out that things were not as they seemed. Sadly, the woman she trusted was living a lie<\/a>. Now the authorities are involved, and the guilt is mounting for this poor family.<\/p>

The mom explained<\/a> in her post that the woman had been caring for her son for nearly two years, and everything seemed fine. The caregiver seemed sweet, but when the mother was away, things changed. The family uncovered a recording of an interaction between the woman and her son, and it broke their hearts.<\/p>

“She told my son ‘nobody loves you.’ She called him ‘dirt’ and ‘disgusting.’ She told my baby she “hoped he choked on his snack’ and threatened to smack his face,” the mom alleged in the forum.<\/p>
