How much do you trust your child with the househelp?

I was sent this video by a colleague and it turned out to be the most disturbing videos I have watched in a while. I don't have rights to the video but am passing it around for information purposes. Apologies for the graphical nature of the clip.

Parents go to all levels worrying about their children and how safe they are in their homes, schools and play grounds. Rapists, drug dealers, hijackers e.t.al are all around us, so parents know there is need to make sure that they make their homes a safe haven for their children  They even block channels that have PG ratings on their televisions just to lock out channels that might expose their children to things like sex, alcohol and drugs at tender ages.

Parents restrict their children's company to avoid exposure to traits they don't deem fit for the little ones. They look for the best house-helps to take care of the children. That brings up my question, How effective are house-helps in the rightful upbringing of your children. How safe is your child in the hands of the house-helps whether male or female? While you are busy taking all the necessary precautions, the danger is right under your nose.

Watch this video and ask yourself how safe your child is in the hands of the people you trust most around them. It was captured by someone who witnessed a house help doing a horrible act on a child. Consider the fact that this kid could be exposed to STIs including HIV.

Some viewers might find the video too graphical, pardon me for that but information is power and this is important for all parents.
