Hewett & Associates is an invaluable tool in our attempts to prevent these tragedies. Many of us seek a local teenager, contact a posting on a bulletin board or newspaper in an attempt to find “affordable” child care. Sometimes for just a few hours in the evening. But think of it, you wouldn’t hire a stranger to guard your wallet, house or other valuables yet many take this route to care for their most prized possession…..Their Child. Why? Families across America have done it for years, our parents probably did it! Then again, they probably didn’t wear seatbelts years ago. Sadly, society is changing while population grows. Years ago we never heard of child predators, shaken baby syndrome, nanny cams and the like. Today they’re in the news on a regular basis.
