When your job is to care for children, you’re not just keeping them entertained, you’re responsible for their safety and well-being.
For this Redditor, that responsibility led to something he never imagined doing.
He had been hired to nanny four young children, but what he walked into was heartbreaking. The apartment was filthy, there were no toys or books, no set bedtime, and the kids barely knew how to socialize. It was overwhelming.
The next day, he called CPS. And now, he can’t stop thinking about those little ones.
