I bet the Mom that left her kids to go dancing had put an ad on Craigslist that day and hadn't had anyone respond:) People are so stupid and crazy
Kudos to the first nanny for saving that child! The parents should be paying for her medical care!!
A Mom--
I agree! I'm very curious how her employers are handling the situation...
The first story. I am curious about homeowners insurance. Would they be responsible for the medical bills??? I mean if you are working in someones home. And you hurt yourself either inside the house or outside the house.
ericsmom--
That's what I was wondering... I thought if you're hurt at someone else's home (on the job or not) the homeowners/employers should pay the bills (except in cases of obvious negligence). So unless dad is saying the fire was her fault, what gives? If it were my son she'd saved, I'd help her out even if it wasn't required my law!
A mom -- and others.
There is a lot behind this story that isn't being revealed (or is, but is not being as widely public). JB Hawes "Aden's single father" is not his "real" father. He is in fact a good friend of Aden's mother who agreed (from the good of his own heart) to raise her son while she is in prison. There is in fact now a bitter custody dispute between Hawes and Aden's mother.
Hawes was struggling to make ends meet to begin with and I'm sure he didn't really even think about health insurance for his nanny when he hired her. At this point he's struggling enough just to find a place to live.
I think it's awesome what Ellen and others have done and continue to do for Alyson. I don't necessarily think that people should be rewarded just for doing good deeds, but there's no reason a young girl should end up owing a lifelong debt to society for saving a little boy's life.
Kentucky, I hadn't heard any of the back-channel details. I, like most others, assumed that the man was a single father. Is the bio dad around at all? Just wondering if he is able to help find them housing, etc.
xfileluv -- yeah... the back channel story is really quite ugly and overshadows the entire story of the nanny saving the litle boy. I think that's why (other than on Nancy disGrace, it hasn't been mentioned in the national news circuit.
Somehow the drug addicted mother who spent her entire pregnancy and a good chunck of her child's first few years of life in prison has become the "victim" in Nancy's eyes for giving this man custody and now wanting him back. And from what I've gathered, there is no biological father in the picture.
Of course I don't know the whole story and I honestly don't want to...
The story has gone from being heartwarming to being... lord, why did these people have to be from Kentucky.
