This Nanny Refused To Bring A Baby Back Home During A Rainstorm And Got Accused Of Kidnapping
A twenty-seven-year-old woman has been nannying for the same family for nearly six months now. She primarily looks after a one-year-old baby girl who she thinks is the sweetest baby ever.
And on top of that, she believed there was a strong working relationship between herself and the baby’s parents.
But, that belief quickly went away one day last week when she got in trouble for refusing to bring the baby girl back home. And it all began when she took the child on her daily walk.
“I always take the baby on walks– either around the neighborhood or we walk down to this cool shopping center,” she explained.
At the shopping center, there is a fountain and a bubble tea shop which has loads of toys and games. The baby always has a great time hanging out there, so that afternoon, she decided to take her back.
But, after arriving at the shop and starting to play outside, as usual, it began to drizzle. So, she scooped the baby up and planned to wait out the rain inside.
Unfortunately, though, the light drizzle turned into a torrential downpour– and she and the baby were stuck inside for quite some time.
And eventually, she decided to text the mother and update her on their plans for the storm.
“Hey, it’s raining really bad, so we are just going to wait it out. We are at the bubble tea shop,” she texted.

But, the mother was not happy and said it was almost the baby’s nap time. So, the mom wanted her to walk back right away.
She ended up asking if she had looked out the window and saw the terrible storm raging outside. But, the mother did not care– and said the baby’s stroller had a cover, so it would be fine.
Nonetheless, she did not want to walk back in the rain without an umbrella or jacket for fear of getting sick.
Moreover, once she inevitably got soaked, she did not want to have to work the rest of her shift in sopping wet clothing.
So, she asked if the baby’s mother or father would be able to go pick them up from the bubble tea shop. But, the mother said it was “her job to do what she is told” and refused to go get them.
In turn, she made the executive decision to stay at the bubble tea shop with the baby until the storm passed.
And after sitting in the shop for an hour longer, the baby’s father finally showed up with his car. He apparently apologized for the wait and said he had been sleeping and had no clue they were stuck in the rain.
But, the niceties were out the window once she met the mother at home.
Apparently, the mother totally screamed at her after she got back and accused her of kidnapping the baby girl.
And even though the father believed his wife was acting over dramatic, he did not step in much further. So, the mother ended up threatening to fire her and told her not to go to work the next day.
They are also supposed to discuss her employment status on Monday.
So now, after everything that has happened, she is unsure if refusing to bring the baby back home was the wrong thing to do.
She did not think risking illness and getting soaked was worth it for nap time. However, the mother’s rage and threats have made her question her decision.
Do you think she had a right to override the mother’s wishes? If you had been in her shoes, what would you have done?
