Excuse me, mar in Colorado, It is YOU who are error, along with the 'journalist' who wrote the piece.

She was FORMALLY charged with the crimes. This happens when the law personnel are done talking about charging her, and actually read her the Miranda Rights and inform her FORMALLY that she is under arrest.

The word is formal. It means 'official'. You know...a black tie gig, tuxedo, long dress..that type of thing. A prom. An award ceremony. A 'formal' garden...

FORMER, however, means somthing which came before. As in...I was not always a college graduate. I was forMERly a student!

By the way, if you found no such spelling in your dictionary as 'formally', I would suggest you get yourself a new dictionary. Apparently that page is missing in the one you have!

PS. Maybe you should make sure before you slap someone that you are not the one needing slapping!

baschnagel ---Thank you!! I was just about to put an end to these two when I read your comment. Good grief, is anyone in this country passing the 7th grade anymore?

No, because our gov has done such a good job dumbing down the teachers and students

No, thye only need to be smarter than a 5th grader to win on TV.

baschnagel - Thanks, well said

I think she was formidably arrested.....they roughed her up a bit when they arrested her

sorry, I couldn't resist

Um is this article about spelling correction? Or is it about a nanny formally arrested?

It is formally. mar in Colorado.......you make no sense.

What happened to simply saying, "Sorry" but I looked it up and it's blah blah rather than bashing someone for being incorrect.

Baschnagel,

Colorado was just trying to help out and in no way was slapping anyone in the face. Man, some people are just so high strung.

Debbie,

Thanks for the correction but to say you make no sense is bashing. Hope you do not speak to your students that way.

dgal,

Yeah right?! Some people seem to come on here just to make themselves look shiny rather than stick to the subject however, it also got me off the subject and this is what happens.... LOL

Have a nice day...

Grammer and smelling police out in force sophrosyne police still missing.

Who cares how they spelled it! Two innocent children are DEAD!!! Hellllloooooo!

Thank you --- if this was a political discussion there would HUNDREDS of posts!

There are two innocent babies who were savagely murdered!!!!

Was this woman (possibly) an immigrant or maybe uneducated, who clearly does not possess the skills or qualifications necessary to take care of children!

Who was she, what is her background and HOW could a mother leave her her babies without having the full information on another human being if that is the case? (!!!) Just to save money by hiring someone who may have a criminal or mental history in their former country (or our own). Fill in the blanks!!!!

MommaBear-

The woman worked for the family for 2 years. You are making an awful lot of assumptions about who this woman was and what the mother was thinking when she hired her. Maybe we should wait for more information before we start attacking the mother. You have absolutely no idea what has been going on in that family for 2 years. Reading an article about it doesn't make you an expert.

euphan, did you just blame the PARENTS? It must be awful to someone as heartless and stupid as you. The parents have three kids and only hired a p/t babysitter when the youngest 3rd child was born nearly 2 years ago. This Dominican immigrant was recommended to the family; she has been in the U.S. for 10 years with her son and is a naturalized citizen. The parents did nothing wrong, except trust someone who flipped out. And that happens everywhere, all across the U.S. - except that it is usually males not females who crack up and start killing everyone in reach.

Btw, in NYC, DC and other urban locales, the babysitters prefer the more upscale "nanny" but they are anything but Mary Poppins.

this woman is just evil and of the devil

Michelle, I didn't like Judd's comment either, but if you claim to be a 'free speech' advocate, why are you calling for banning someones comment just because 'YOU' don't agree with it or it's content? In advocating taking away someone elses rights, which are protected by the Constitution of this country by the way, who's going to be left when 'YOUR' rights, the ones you think are 'right' and you hold dear, are taken away too?...

Something to ponder.

Only time I've ever advocated banning a comment is when it's factually wrong, which is common in these threads...

Well ho ho ANGLEA, do you feel better now, blasting like you did to Mechelle, Free speech is fine, but its how u say it or word it, There is no such call to be nasty, mean, it show iggnorance, and stupidty on ones part. Im sick and tired of people saying That my right to say what ever, in a crul,malicious, filthy manner. Especailly in the news of a child getting murdered, or rape, etc. new name for you angela, Mz, perfect lol

Kinder, gentler speech needs no 1st amendment protection, and what Judd said isn't a 1st amendment issue. Free speech was best described with the phrase "I abhor what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it". If you don't think what Judd said is acceptable, report it with the exclamation mark tab. If it's really egregious, the moderator will handle it.

Hey this article is about a nanny getting arrested for her horendous crime, not about 1st Amendment or Free Speech, so stick with the topic...Glad the nanny is arrested, hopefully they will put her away for life and throw away the key...My condolence to the deceased children family...

Are you people kidding or just not smart enough to understand the ramifications of Michelle's post? I suppose you're the types that think 'Patriot Act' is a great law? Giving away our Freedoms OUR forefathers fought and died for, until none are left... It's no wonder our country is circling the drain.

Creek dog,

mar in Colorado was responded to with the same tone in which he or she approached others. Second, your comment about my students was most inappropriate and out of line and kind of slaps your intended message in the face. With that being said, after reading everything you stated and seeing how you contradicted yourself at least three times, I'm not going to humor you any further because you clearly lack the intelligence you need to carry on this conversation.

Angela, Sick is sick and wrong is wrong. That's why it's illegal to yell fire in a theater.

@Debbie....Creek Dog was right why take it in the parking lot and leave this forum alone ......for God 's sake two children were murder and mother got to see them in a horrible scene ,which she will never get it out of her mind for the rest of her life and you are complaining about spelling ......HUH I wonder WHO"S children are you teaching ......

This article is about a crime, not free speech. Just stick to the topic.

I read another article that stated she has been a US citizen for the last 10 years.

If I remember from the other story about this case correctly, she was legal and the parents she was a Nanny for even sponsored her son to come live in the United States...

And I wonder if you're a bigot, racist, or ignoramus? Way to stereotype real quick. What kind of questions do you ask when white, male, US citizens commit mass homicides or go on shooting sprees? This nanny should never see the lights of day again, but your racist comment was uncalled for. You display your lack of education or class. I wonder how much fruit and vegetables you eat that were harvested by "just another illegal?"

What she means by "just another illegal" is that it shows a great deal of disrespect to blood-born Americans when someone invades their country and kills their kids. If you want to know what she means by "just another illegal" - take a look at your local Mugshots.com to get an idea of what "just another illegal" means to her. While I cannot "formally" speak for her, I certainly get what she means by it. Usually the only ones that are offended are "just other illegals" or supporters, themselves. Meanwhile, life goes on for "just another illegal(s)", while 2 kids are buried by their parents. And most likely she was "just another illegal" or the topic would be quite clear in the article, which it is not.

let's all ( Judge Not ) you can talk all day that won't bring those beautiful children back, they are with God now -so let them rest . Let's pray for those parents , they need it more than words can express .

-----AND look who has "hired" her regardless of visa/green card/student visa/no visa-- about 34 million live like that here today, thanks to all the ones hiring them so they(EMPLOYER) do not have to pay employment taxes, medical insurance, unemployment taxes, and far below legal min wage---I am so tired of all these comments bashing the immigrants-- the "rich" (at least they think so) are 84 % the ones who hire the illegal people, and they should all be deported with them for failure to pay the taxes and hiring illegals paying them under the table.---But then again I have seen them just about in all the 2600 food plants (animals and human as well as pill factories) and 177 universities I have consulted on making the molecular processes for all food and genetic production, that takes a lot of hand work by simple workers many times.--Thus the same on universities, sometimes using students--in the name of "educating"--all to bennefit corporate America!

On the other hand when USA comes to Denmark to get someone like me because they have found out my IQ is over 175, and then lets us wait in a suitcases for a year while "they" process simple paperwork for someone who has already been in NATO for 6 years, then I start to wonder why USA as number 10-12 in living standard on the globe thinks it is such an opportunity to come here in todays world from EU, that people like me want to wait in a suitcase from a country that is number one in living standard and freedom. (On freedom remember the police here shoot and kill 2-3 people every day, and kill another 6-10 in "accidents")

But it is very sad for all involved, we need to start checking all people here once a year for all hormone levels,m and we could save thousands of lives, and that includes the other than stress, such as many hormones in imbalance causing cancer.

AND do not bother with my English, as I see above, I have enough trouble handling 5 languages, and it is not important to me--in today's world with spell checkers everywhere. You see years ago I was teaching all the tools to the US Engineers that make/manufacture your memory and computer chips (not programming) in the worlds largest computer company, and we started to think about spell check and GPS on the side lines!!

To some the above was nasty, but it is time you get the head out of the sand!--And actually get to know the real facts--I have made over 3000 university visits here and CDN as well as EU, , so I have seen a couple of things and can only compare to about 5 people on the globe!--tobacco anyone? you should see the poisons in that too, never mind the smoke----but you all seem to enjoy it, all seem to get you through life faster??

What kind of questions do you ask when white, male, US citizens commit mass homicides or go on shooting sprees?

Oh, I'll bet you do that all the time. But then, that's politically-correct to do so.

This nanny should never see the lights of day again, but your racist comment was uncalled for. You display your lack of education or class. I wonder how much fruit and vegetables you eat that were harvested by "just another illegal?"

Gee, it's funny how you get more angry at what the guy said then you do the illegal alien nanny who killed some kids. Just goes to show ya how fukked-up some people's priorities really are.

Psychosis is not confined to a particular race or ethnic group. Or occupation.

It's just that her target was children. And what makes it so heinous is children are helpless to defend themselves. Especially when mama is gone.

Crimes against children are too much for us to process. They are far worse than when an adult is murdered.

That is why detectives who work these cases are affected the rest of their lives. It's not natural. It's the worst thing that they will ever have to investigate.

Possessions and this crime, are not two of the same monsters. Possession is when an evil entity takes over - no motive, no cause or explanation. This nanny, had reason and cause and the mental issues were possibly her fighting her desire to commit pre-meditated murder. I am sure she was hoping that they would overlook the murder and pay attention to her wounds. It sounds to me that SHE wanted attention that only the kids were and should have gotten. The American dream unfortunately means American "money" to some immigrants and not "love" of the American people. One can only pretend for so long.

You know of the beheadings in Mexico by the drug cartel members, correct? They cut off limbs and remove the victim's skin.

If one of these murderers came into the U.S. unknown, they would be okay to stay in our country under Obama's illegal immigration policy, unless they are caught harming someone over here. We have no way of knowing who is in our country right now.

I agree. Having someone mow your lawn for you is OK but having someone raise your kids for you is pure laziness. Some people think if they have enough money they can just play and have no responsibilities.

Where may I ask, did you see or read that she was "raising" those children?...You didn't. She WORKED for them. Given, she was more than likely always at their home but that's what the rich do isn't it? They hire people to watch their children while they're working or go out and whatnot. I agree that people shouldn't have others "raising" their children but when you have the means that these people have, you're "allowed" to pay for someone else to take care of your kids. In most cases the "nanny" would have taken the middle child to the swimming lesson along with the other two tagging along while their mother did whatever. Instead she was left at home to care for the two not in attendance. I TOTALLY understand what you're both saying and I don't agree with people paying others raise their children for them and not really even knowing them the way a parent should...but apparently this mother & father needed someone to help with them. The father works for cnbc so I'm sure he's not home as much as he'd like to be and the mother is trying to juggle it all by herself. And when you're well-to-do like they are, she is probably quite busy with her "social" life and whatnot also. Nannies have been around and doing this for families for a VERY long time and if you've got the money, it's fine to hire someone to help out but not RAISE them for you. Just my opinion though.

Reality and Warren obviously believe all women need to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

you're right, the single mom should just relinquish her parental rights to the state, and let THEM raise the child....you are an idiot

The parents did a background check on this woman.

Good parents don't let other people raise their children (Period)

What about Casey Anthony, Andrea Yates or the countless other parents who raised and killed there children. The problem is we don't have a program to handle mental issues effectively in this country. We only seek punishment and revenege then we think we are doing something.

The only person responsible for this is the nanny...end of story. The nanny came to them through friend's recommendation...should we blame them too?

From "what I read" the mother did some volunteer work and spent most of her time with the children or taking them to activities. The nanny did not have them full time all week by herself.

It doesn't seem wise to criticize in ANY way a person who is entrusted with your children's care when you are not present. If I had been unhappy with her work, I would have just let her go, as kindly as possible. She is obviously unwell and took out her anger at being criticized on these innocent children. Hindsight is, of course, 20/20 but I feel strongly that that's the way I would have handled it. Maybe it's just b/c I've had more exposure to mentally ill people in my life than these parents have. My sympathies to the family.

The nanny DID NOT do it. There are several police calls in and in one of them a "male" was seen attacking the woman.

Why is everyone buying into the media's false story? They just say it and you believe it? One report said that the nanny suffered a broken vertebra in her neck. Self inflicted? As a doctor, I think not.

Remember the first story to come out, the mother saw the nanny on the ground bleeding.

However, If a person gets to the point that they have to warn someone about job performance or face termination, they better have the person in a benign position; not watching your children. Lots and lots of people have killed as a result of losing a job.

The nanny DID NOT do it.

She has denied that anyone else stabbed her. She has admitted she was angry that she was given light housework to do.

The account of the mother finding her on the ground bleeding also says she grabbed the knife which was on the floor and stabbed herself in the neck with enough force to break the vertebrae.

The nanny did not do it.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but I really think it should be formally. It says she spoke to the police from her bedside Saturday afternoon, and then was formally arrested and charged after 6 p.m.

right on, Trixie3397782! I was going to post the exact example. Formally is often confused with formerly.

mar in colorado,

Why do you continue to insist on being incorrect??? lolololfmao

That's because americans speak american and not english

She will, of course, be found too bonkers to stand trial. So come on people; she needs help, right?

No let's just seek revenge and punish her as painfully as possible rather look for an effective solution to this problem that tends to happen far too often in the US!

Joe Slater67 - Great Call!

hopefully this should put the "debate" to rest, as the legal terminology is below. I can understand the confusion by those that are grammar majors! LOL

Detainment

• If a police officer believes that they have probable cause to do so, they are within their rights to detain you for a period of time in order to question you. This does not mean that you are under formal arrest.

Formal Arrest

• If you are handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car, are told that you are being formally arrested, or are not allowed to leave for an extended period of time, you should assume that you are under formal arrest.

@ ConcernedMa You are one big heart person ,while reading I could not believe how heartless people are .....concern about the spelling and insults etc. never express remorse for the suffering mother ,that found her babies butchered in the bathtub .Can you imagine the horror .....My heart goes out to her ,it is obvious that professionals hire help in raising children (especially three ) now and days .What is wrong with that you give people jobs ....you need help.....And what is wrong to be asked to improve your work performance ? isn't that happened at every work place ? No excuse for that evil women No excuse .....

In another article, it said the nanny stabbed herself in the neck in front to the mom after the mom found the kids dead.

I see nothing wrong with having a nanny. I would have loved to have been able to afford one. And I think those who are critical of the mom for having a nanny are probably jealous. I don't see much difference between using a daycare and having a nanny. A nanny is not the same as a governess during Victorian times when the mother only spent an hour a day with her own children.

pedrora, news stories say that the kids mom walked in and the nanny stabbed herself at that point. She apparently is the one who did it.

Lovely, I don't think there is anything wrong with using a nanny. I don't think that people who are critical are necessarily jealous. Personally, I wouldn't use one because I want to be with my children and see their milestones and enjoy them. however, as a society, we are so used to always blaming someone and being judgmental. The mom here seems like a doting and caring mother. She wanted to spend time individually with each child, said a story. She kept a blog on her kids which was very touching. Things just happen and it did here. This was the worse nightmare for a mother so you find others being judgmental instead of embracing her and praying for her and her family to get through this. I read it was her little boy's birthday on October 30. Talk about adding salt to the wound. My heart goes out to this mom. God bless her and help her at this very difficult time.

Here's the back story, it all makes sense:

This week financial news organization CNBC gave some mainstream attention to the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History, in which “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners are being accused of laundering of 43 trillion dollars worth of ill gotten gains. The lawsuit is said to involve officials located in the highest offices of government and the financial sector.

Since this information was surprisingly revealed by the mainstream news organization there has been a very suspicious and deadly fallout at the CNBC headquarters. Within hours the original page for the article was taken down, and CNBC senior vice president Kevin Krim received news that his children were killed under very suspicious circumstances. It seems that the murder happened first and then the page was removed later.

According to mainstream accounts the children’s nanny is responsible for the murders, allegedly stabbing both children. However, those same mainstream news sources report the highly unlikely story that the nanny slit her own throat just after committing the homicides. Police have released very little information and although a wider plot has not been officially implicated, it seems very possible that these murders are a show of force against the press organization for releasing such damning information about the most powerful people in the world.

Here is some more information about the lawsuit from the Wall Street Journal:

“In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP — on behalf of home owner across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer recompense laws — has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the “Banksters” and their co-conspirators, seeking an audit of the Fed and audits of all the “bailout programs” by an independent receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has stated that none of the TARP money and other “bailout money” advanced from the Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United States Congress. Because the Obama Administration has failed to pursue any of the “Banksters” criminally, and indeed is actively borrowing monies for Mr. Obama’s campaign from these same “Banksters” to finance its political aspirations, the national group of plaintiff home owners has been forced to now expand its lawsuit to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the “Bankster” Defendants. ”

Some of the alleged conspirators are Attorney General Holder, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary, Vikram Pandit (recently resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former “communications director” for the Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the “Banksters” themselves, and their affiliates and conduits.

It is expected that all news on this subject will be removed from CNBC, and that other news organizations will be discouraged from covering such information. However, screen shots of the original CNBC article were taken to verify the authenticity of this story.

Assassination and brute intimidation are common strategies for the ruling class to use on people who may threaten their agenda. This is the second situation this week in which a high level executive was the victim of a suspicious attack that seemed very much like an assassination. The Intel Hub just reported that Nicholas Mockford, a 60 year old British executive for the oil company ExxonMobil was shot dead in front of his wife in an assassination-style killing in Brussels. We will be keeping a close eye on both of these stories and provide more details as they become available.

OMG... I didn't know any of this. This is very interesting.

Expectedly, people are going to call you a crack-pot, but those same people probably believe that World Trade Center 7 completely collapsed into it's foot-print, naturally.

Anyone who is capable of murdering children, or ordering such a murder, is demonic, as far as I'm concerned. I haven't been convinced that this simply wasn't the act of an evil, selfish, sociopathic woman, but I am open-minded.

Jennifer and J- What is your source?
