A babysitter who had been watching two girls in Austin, Texas for only a few months allegedly grew so frustrated with their shenanigans that she decided to light their house on fire. A punishment fit for the crime!

A real-life Lassie story unfolded in South Carolina earlier this year when a dog alerted its owners to the possibility that their infant son was being physically abused by his babysitter.

A woman who was temporarily put in charge of her friend's children accidentally let one of them drown while she was busy checking Facebook on her phone.

The real payoff of the House/Cuddy romantic arc began on last night's episode of House: finally, we get to watch Hugh Laurie acting curmudgeonly alongside Cuddy's adopted two-year-old, Rachel.

16-year-old Kirstin Rausch had friends over later than she was supposed to. So as a punishment, her father took out an ad for 30 hours of free babysitting, complete with a picture of her face, in the local newspaper.

This upcoming film called "The Babysitters" is about babysitters, alright—hooker babysitters. One high school girl starts off as a mere child supervisor, but quickly comes to find that she can build more wealth selling her own body. Then all her high school friends are like "Hey, us too!" This movie may have been made before, but probably never outside the pornography industry. It stars Cynthia Nixon, and John Leguizamo as the lecherous husband, which is the role that John Leguizamo was born to play. The trailer [via Videogum], after the jump.
