Jury Awards $5 Million In Charles Co. Malpractice Case

THAT sounds familiar too. Wasn't there a case a few years back, involving a foreign nanny? The parents blamed the Nanny, she was convicted.. then the conviction was overturned after it was proved that the nanny wasn't the one doing the abusing?

I don't know much about medicine but if there was an "explainable" head trauma and they did a CT scan something would have shown. Wouldn’t the parents just say "oh yeah the baby sitter said he fell", would they have even questioned abuse since the sitter told them how the bruise on the brain got there???
This is a terrible thing that happened but I think the parents are just looking for anyone they can to blame and try to get a buck out of it.

That is such bull. Almost sounds as though you are envious it didn't happen to your kid and you were getting the payout. You're right, you don't know much.

Mom should be given the choice if she wants to work or not...
