Nanny with child in a blue stroller with a plaid pattern on the seating cushion. The child was very young, under six months. The stroller was loaded down with bags and I witnessed the nanny at the Food court just before twelve today. She parked the stroller at a table. And get this-took the bags that were hanging on the stroller with her and went to Sbarro to get her lunch. Then she went back, rehung the bags and ate her pizza. The baby was fine. I wouldn't have even thought it was weird that she left the stroller to get her lunch selection, except that SHE made a spectacle by demonstrating what was important when she took her Bodyworks and JcPenney bag with her. If she recognized that the bags could be taken, uhm why not the child?

Was the child out of sight? Were there a lot of people around? It is a lot easier to walk off with a bag in a public place than a child strapped in a stroller.
the reply to this post shows just how clueless people are. there are people out there desperate to steal a baby. check the news.
I get what you are saying. If you can carry the bags, take the kids. or let me guess, the nanny was using someone else's BABY to hold her table spot. AWFUL!
Not to be graphic, but in a day and age when people are slashing mother's throats and carving their babies out of their body's, I would be very concenred about employing a nanny who did not keep the baby with her at all times. How hard is that really? We are talking about the bare minimum of care!
How do you know the person was a nanny?
I agree with the above posted comment: "how do you know the person was a nanny?"
Any person ((which can include parents, and grandparents)) have done things like this - in the past, present and more than likely, in the future!
Instead of berating and/or judging the person, be an advocate on the child's behalf and make sure YOURSELF, that no one comes along and "takes the child"..YOU keep your 'eye' on the child and 'keep them safe'....
Then if you can find it in your heart and be so kind as to approach the person in charge and kindly remind them to be careful that there are heinous people out there nowadays looking to snatch babies, then by all means do so.. approach the person tactfully --- but beware!! you may wind up in an argument or get cussed out!
So let's not be so quick as to judge others and not know what the circumstances are exactly. You really don't know if there was another person at the next/adjoining table that was "with this woman", and the baby was not in danger at all!
My motto: MYOB, but be ready to assist if necessary!
Your motto is so out of place in present society. My motto, "what I choose to make my business-will be my business".
Oh and also, "peace".
Out of place in present society? Get real.
Was salt poured in an open wound for you? Deal with it!
Why do some of you have to be so friggin critical of the person who posted this information about the nanny? Either you don't have children, or you don't care that the nanny you employ to watch your children walks off and leaves them alone in a mall.
I'd sure like to know if my nanny walked off and left my precious little boy sitting in his stroller alone.
To the person who posted the warning: Thank You!
I agree. To the ANOYMOUS who posted the motto MYOB: Think about it as if it were your little baby being left alone in a congested mall with all these sickos walking around. If you are anywhere decent, you would AT LEAST be concerned, if not alarmed.
Besides, you can post whatever you want on this site. Quit being so dang critical. You are worse than my old English teacher. Seesh.
For those of you who are defending the woman who left her child (nanny or not) please, don't procreate, your stupidity should not continue to be passed on in society. I work for a child abuse agency...your stupidity baffles me. READ. Seriously, get a paper, turn on CNN do something to educate yourself. And for God's sake, educate yourself before speaking. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion and yes, when something awful happens to your child(ren)...we'll still all feel sorry for you, even though...you brought it on yourself.
EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!
