Kids left alone with baby monitor: There's 'no point' in sitters, one mom says, but experts sound the alarm
Fox News
As reports emerge of children being left alone with nothing but baby monitors, experts sound the alarm. Dr. Meg Meeker of Michigan told Fox News Digital there is no substitute for a parent or caregiver.
Their two small children, reportedly two years old and five months old, were left alone in a hotel room with only a baby monitor while the couple was reportedly out to dinner around the corner. "When an accident happens to a baby or child, it happens in seconds, not minutes." "Parents don't realize how quickly they must act – and they simply can't do this if they aren't physically present." "There is a place for video monitors — but they should never replace a person within short reach of a child." Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor in lifestyle with Fox News Digital.
Veronica Tejera, 33, was arrested and charged with two counts of child endangerment just hours after her husband’s passing, after police received a call from the hotel about "unattended children" at the location, said USA Today.
