A nanny has been accused of burning a two-year-old boy with a curling iron discipline him when he refused to listen to her. Nosipho Nxumalo, from Harlem, New York, was arrested after the boy’s horrified mum noticed the boy’s injuries and watched home security footage showing the alleged abuse. “After she burns him several times, you see her – you could tell she was telling him, ‘See that’s what happens when you don’t listen,’ and then she hugs him,” mother Angela Persaud told NBC4 New York. “She’s playing these warped mind games with my child, and it’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life.” In court documents seen by the broadcaster Nxumalo appears to admit to the attack, saying: “The child wouldn’t listen. I wanted to discipline him using the iron so I burned him.” Ms Persaud discovered the boy’s injury when she touched his left hand and he cried out in pain. He told her what happened and she reviewed the home security footage. Nxumalo, who was recommended by a local nanny agency, is being charged with two counts of assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and endangering the welfare of a child. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held on $25,000 (£21,000) bail. Ms Persaud, is now warning other parents to be vigilant when hiring home help...

Why do people hire housekeepers in the first place? I have 2 kids. None of them went to daycare or had in home daycare. I stayed home and took care of them until school age. Some housekeepers are evil. RUN! Some are from the Marine world. It was hard staying home for years, but I sacrificed for my kids. In Africa when people get rich the first thing the women look for is housekeepers. I will never hire one. I will take care if my house alone. No one cook for my husband only me.

I was a working mom too. Quit my job. Mom's need to sacrifice for their kids period. Just as the men need to support the family while mom is home doing a full time job without pay. My neighbor's kid was killed by a baby sitter. If u know anyone that something like that happened to, you will never think of hiring a babysitter.
