Mom Installs CCTV to Test Nanny after Noticing Bruises on Children – Story of the Day

Lina was a devoted mother to her little son and baby daughter and didn’t want to leave them alone with a nanny. But circumstances forced her to do otherwise, and she never imagined she’d return home one day to find bruises on her children…

It was a bright Sunday morning, and Lina was sipping tea on her front porch while her husband, Tod, was working in the garage. With the pleasant weather and birds chirping merrily in the skies, everything seemed perfect with the outside world, but Lina’s heart was anxious, possessing every other fear that a mother’s heart could.

Lina had taken a break from work after her first pregnancy and was supposed to return to her job now. She adored her children as any mother would, but she didn’t want to let go of her brilliant career. When she discussed that with Tod, he suggested they hire a nanny.

But Lina didn’t want that. She knew their son, Jeremy, could be a handful at times, and May was… so small and young! Lina’s heart skipped a beat every time she considered leaving her children in the care of a stranger, a nanny.

She was almost sure she would put her career on hold for the sake of her children. But one fateful day changed everything when they hired Bella, a young woman, as their children’s nanny…

“Tod, the kids are very young and need me. I can give up the job,” Lina had told Tod a week ago when they were discussing hiring a nanny.

“Come on, Lina,” Tod had said. “I know you love your job. I appreciate your concern for our children, but Jeremy is a big boy and doesn’t need his momma all the time! He’s four!”

“And what about May? She’s only two, hun. Leaving them with a nanny… I don’t know if I’m ready for that.”

“Look, Lina, I don’t want you to be one of those women who give up their dreams for the sake of their husband and children… You get what I mean, right?”

“Tod! I’m a mother now! I’m more than just a woman who, well, cares about her career…”

Even Lina knew how she was lying to herself when she said that. She had always been a very ambitious woman who wanted to do much more in life than just raising her children. She wanted to make a name for herself.

But the kids arrived sooner than she and Tod had planned, and her motherly instincts wouldn’t let her think about anything but the children. Besides, Jeremy and May were very mischievous, and she had to always be after them.

“Look, Lina,” Tod had finally said. “I can’t force you to return to work, but I’d like you to reconsider. So many families hire nannies, and the person will not be a complete stranger, honestly! We’ll have their ID and any other information we need.”

Lina thought it...
