I decided to post this after I read the playground warning posted under today's date. I was at Hippo Park Today. As were a number of people. It was pretty packed and a beautiful day. There was a little girl between 3-4 who was wandering around all by herself. She was crying because she could not find her nanny. We (other parents and nannies) surrounded the little girl and tried to comfort her and calm her down. The nanny then suddenly emerged. She was in her early twenties, quite thin, either Asian or biracial, dark hair, clean looking skin, brown eyes. She didn't look like a bad person, but your child should never get to the point where he or she is wandering around crying out for you. Especially when there is some strange man on the trying to make contact with children on the playgrounds.
Second Report of Same Incident

I was actually there today too and just came to the site to report this. The poor child was distraught and crying to the point of choking.Just to add to it, the Child was wearing a dress, blue ribbon in her hair, and was blonde. The nanny also had a little boy with her who was about 1 and a half and was wearing a red shirt (he had been left alone to play!) The Nanny had a distinctive tattoo on her leg. I believe the child was calling her "Lisa" or something similar. They had a gray stroller too.Just thought I'd add those things. Also I actually saw the Nanny appear and she was walking over from the entrance of the park (did not actually see whether she was coming from OUTSIDE or just right near the entrance). Hope that helps.
This is dated Monday, July 1. Isn't today Monday, July 2?

ReplyDeleteWow ... this must be a first - an incident that received 2 reports! I feel sorry for those kids.
ReplyDeletei have a blonde daughter who is 3 1/2 and a young son. I don't think these were my kids but is there any more info you can provide. That's so awful. Thank you for observing!
ReplyDeletei was there too. i also sought out this site, after never having looked at it before, in order to report the nanny. i then had second thoughts...i thought maybe i had misread the situation, and didn't want to tarnish the nanny w/o knowing the whole story. but, after reading these other reports, i am convinced that my 1st instinct was correct i wish there was some way we could contact the family.
