Babysitter Abuse and Murder Cases Spark National Alarm
Recent cases across the United States have raised alarm over the safety of children in the care of babysitters. Incidents include the arrest of Marion Southard Spence in Northern California for the murder and neglect of a 3-year-old boy, the mental health evaluation of Marketta Phillips in Las Vegas after allegedly fatally stabbing a child, and new murder charges against Holly Sheppard in Oklahoma related to the 2018 death of an infant. In the Bronx, La'Keysha Jackson is accused of beating three boys while babysitting, an act caught on camera. These cases highlight persistent challenges in vetting and monitoring caregivers and underscore broader concerns about child protection. Authorities in each jurisdiction continue to investigate and urge the public to report any suspicious activity involving child caregivers.
