New babysitter picks up wrong boy

[SON OF HARRY HOPE]

LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPI) -- A babysitter on her first day on the job
sparked panic by taking home the wrong boy named Angel from a Long Beach,
Calif., school.

The unidentified woman arrived at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School Monday
and called out the 5-year-old boy's name, and one little boy smiled and
came forward, KNTV-TV, San Jose (Calif.) reported Wednesday.

She spent five hours minding the child, who said nothing about being in the
wrong house as his frantic parents and police canvassed the neighborhood.

School officials meanwhile had contacted an uncle of the stranded Angel to
pick the child up.

When his parents arrived home, they told the babysitter she had the wrong
child. Police were notified of the mix-up and the boys were reunited with
their own parents, the television report said.

School officials said they were changing policy on after-school rides to
avoid a repeat of the incident, KNTV said.

I directly blame GW Bush for his failed policy to properly train and
educate baby sitters globally. It is just another reason in a long list
of reasons that the republican controlled DC environment that change is
needed.
