Absolutely not. I would not let this person look after my child because he/she abused his/her own child and tried to kill him. The fact that he/she is a recovered alcoholic does not come into it. Alot of abuse occurs within families so just because this person is in your family it does not mean you can trust him/her. I would not even leave a child alone with this person.

Stick to what you believe, they are your children and you have to do what you think is right. Let the others know you respect their opinion but you still feel uneasy about leaving your children with this person. If you listen to them and something did happen you would never forgive yourself. Good luck.

You only listen to our gut when it comes to your own children.

I thought this question was a joke the first time I read it through because it is just so ABSURD. Rule number one for parents is you NEVER need to justify the protection of your own children. You don't want someone to watch your kids then THEY DON'T WATCH YOUR KIDS. You don't need to explain your reasons. Your kids, your rules. So what if this person hasn't harmed a child in 10 years-do they honestly think your kids should be the litmus test for her sanity? Your family can go stick it up their answerbags. Tell them missmezzo said so!

Only in a rare case if they were COMPLETELY normal and I knew them like the back of my hand.

If you have ever read the books (3) a child called it. the lost boy, and a man named dave the you would understand what the mother was like as a drunk, and the fact that she is campeable of torture is your frist red flag, the alcohol, is the 2nd red flag and your gut is the 3rd red flag. If you did let her and nothing happend the ok but if something did happen would you ever forgive yourself? If you don't let them then there is no possibility of nething happening if you do then there is, r u willing to take that risk with your children?
-
If she was just a recovering alcoholic of ten yes, but because she is capable of torture and almost killing a child not in a million years.

No way on god's green earth would I trust my in law if they had done something like that! Just because they have been off the wagon for 10 years doesn't mean anything. But she also had her child taken away from her because she tortured and tried to kill her five year old! That alone tells me DON'T LEAVE MY BABY WITH HER! I would cuss her out even if she asked me if she could keep my baby. She wouldn't want to talk to me and she would not be a part of our family's life.
