Dog saves South Carolina boy from abusive nanny - TomoNews

A babysitter in South Carolina is behind bars after a loyal dog alerted the parents of a little boy she was physically abusing. The unsuspecting parents of a 7-month-old hired 22-year-old Alexis Kahn to look after the youngster, but it wasn't long until she and the family pet, a black lab and German shepherd-mix called Killian developed an unfriendly relationship. Killian had become protective over the youngster and would growl and bark at the sight of the nanny. Taking notice, the boy's parent's became suspicious and at one point set an iPhone to record audio and planted the device under the couch. What they found was shocking. Kahn can be heard on the recording shouting expletives at the crying boy and even slapping sounds as the boy's cries changed from fright to pain."We just could not believe it," the boy's father Jordan, told local media, adding that he immediately took the baby to the hospital to be checked out. The police were alerted after hearing the recording and was sent to court where she pleaded guilty to assault and battery. She was sentenced a maximum three years in prison and her name was placed on a registry for child abusers, meaning that she will never work with children again.
