I LEFT MY SON AT HOME WITH A BABYSITTER – IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, HE CALLED ME AND WHISPERED “MOMMY, I’M AFRAID. COME HOME.” My son Ben, 6, got sick, so I left him home with Ruby, our usual neighborhood babysitter. She’d always been great — until Friday. At 2:25 p.m., I got a no-caller-ID call at work. I picked up and heard it. “Mommy, I’m afraid. Please come home.” It was Ben. Whispering. I asked, “Where’s Ruby?” but all he said was, “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.” I sprinted out of the office. When I arrived, the house was QUIET. Locked. Curtains shut. I ran inside yelling for Ben. Silence. Then, I froze as I noticed HIM. What happened to my son that made chills run down my spine is in the comments.

It was supposed to be a quiet night out, just me and my partner. We hadn’t had a break in months, and the idea of an evening away from the constant demands of parenting sounded like a luxury. After hours of debating, we finally hired a babysitter for our son, Jake, who was eight years old. He was generally well-behaved, and I trusted him to be responsible enough for a few hours on his own with someone to watch over him.
