I Trusted a Babysitter to Watch My Son — But in the Middle of the Day, I Got a Chilling Call: ‘Mommy, I’m Scared. Please Come Home.’

“Where’s Ruby, baby? What’s she doing?”

“I don’t know… she was standing, and then… she wasn’t.”

My heart plummeted and my hands shook. I put the call on speaker.

“What do you mean? Is she hurt?”

“I think so. She fell. I tried to help but she won’t wake up.”
