Lorna Lane Park in Ramapo, NJ

Received Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Could you get this on the blog straight away? I was just at Lorna Lane Park in Ramapo and I witnessed the following. One nanny, African American, tall, with orangey colored hair. She had it far back off her forehead, but it was short. She looked young, probably 25 or so. She was pushing a stroller that was blue with a blue and green plaid lining. It looked like a boy's stroller but she was pushing a little girl who did not want to ride in the stroller. The little girl was wearing a fleece jacket. The jacket was pink and white and did not have buttons but wooden pegs to secure it. The little girl had a Pebbles hairdo. She was probably 2 or 3. She was a White girl, with dark blonde hair. The girl was in the stroller but was whining and fussing to get out. The nanny eventually yanked her out and told her she could walk. The nanny was carrying a bottle of poland springs water that had a squirt top. I wasn't watching but I heard the girl cry out and she cried the nanny threw water on her. The girl's back of her head and jacket was wet. The nanny told her she was telling tales. She then said something like, 'so you want this water or what'. I know she was only covering for throwing water on the girl. It is about 35 degrees outside. The nanny was mad that the girl wanted out of her stroller. So yanking her out wasn't enough. Look, the girl was being whiny, I heard it. But come on! And I just watched Prime time live last night, What would you do, and still I was stumped about what to say and do. Mostly on account of not wanting to make it worse for the little girl. I don't think I was wrong about what I interpreted. If you know this girl, have the parents show up unexpectedly to see how that nanny treats her.
