Nanny Cams in the News

Four children die each day from abuse, most under the age of four. Caregivers and parents account for 80% of the abuse. Nanny cams, (wireless cameras) unnoticeably tucked into books, toys, flowerpots, clocks, etc. are filming perpetrators in criminal acts. They're making a difference.

Old Enough to Know Better

A 51-year-old granny-nanny was observed as she slapped and shook a 6-month-old girl, threw her on a hardwood floor, stomped and kicked her. Law enforcement hold high regards for nanny cams, but warn parents that they do not replace background checks on childcare providers.

A 62-year-old grandmother-type was arrested and charged when a nanny cam recorded proof of her assault on a 10-month-old baby. She repeatedly slapped the baby and kicked her on the buttocks when she cried. She held a stuffed toy over the baby's face until it arched its back and struggled for air.

More Press Release Horrors

A 15-year-old baby sitter faced 11 felony counts when he sexually assaulted two 8-year-olds. Law enforcement advises that such cases require a meticulous collection of evidence, which the nanny cam produced.

After interviewing dozens of applicants, a 42-year-old mother of two selected a well-qualified caregiver. The "perfect nanny" was filmed as she screamed and fiercely shook the little girl, trying to stop the child from crying.

Getting With the Program

Equally startling stories have come out of daycare centers. In response, some daycares are taking the stand that they have nothing to hide. Parents are able to dial in to the daycare's nanny cam through their home or work computers and even keep the link open on their desktop throughout the day. Participating centers are providing dependable childcare and peace of mind. Really, that's what nanny cams are all about.
