As if being a parent isn’t hard enough, many of us have had to leave our precious children in the care of a stranger at one point or another. It takes a great deal of trust and pure hope that everything will be okay - because how much can you really know about a person, and what they’re like when watchful adults are not around? The crimes committed by Christine Falling, known as the babysitter from hell, are a reminder that parents need to be diligent when selecting a caregiver for their children, who are some of the most vulnerable in our society.
In her early years, she began torturing small animals, like cats - then as a teenager, she moved on to hurting neighbour children. From 1980 to 1982, it’s believed that she attempted to murder three infants, and killed as many as five babies and an elderly man. She didn’t even try to hide her crimes, later telling investigators that she heard voices that told her to kill them, and she should have been caught long before she was arrested. However, somehow, the back-to-the-back deaths of all of these children in her care seemingly went under police radar - or were lost amidst a pile of paperwork, allowing her to continue to kill.
