Bleach milk! Can you believe it?

Today's headline has turned me to speechlessly furious. An Indonesian maid tried to feed a 9-m-old with bleach milk after she has been notified to be terminated. the 9-m-old baby girl struggled and refused to drink, and the grandma checked the bottle and found that the milk was "bleached"......
Gosh! how could such a person survive on earth? She should be prisoned for the rest of her life (in her own country, not to waste HK taxpayers' $).
Please, those with a full time helper, keep a very good eye on the helpers. I just can't trust them.
 
Very shocking indeed. But I would suggest to pay for the one month notice instead of keeping them in the house after they have been terminated, esp. if one has children.

I was chatting to my helper the other day and she told me some helpers would 'retaliate' if their employers are very mean to them, by dipping their toothbrush into toilet water, or stiring their underpants into the soup or spitting into the soup...I don't know how to take these myself...It's just such a good luck thing to land ourselves with a good one with good moral and work ethics.

I've found building a friendly and open/frank work relationship is working out for us. My helper is very relaxed(not tense) in our place. Because she has high standard towards her own work, I don't need to point out anything. I can easily imagine that I would go insane if I had to constantly and vigilantly monitor her...
 
Oh, just noticed you have to be registered to read it. Sorry.

Yeah...sheesh...it seems you can't trust anyone nowadays--even the people you assume you should be able to.
 
I understand more why some people simply do not want to have a full time live-in helper. It's really such a challenge to figure out how to get along with a very special kind of employee---the one who's looking after the most precious and often private possessions of our lives...However, for those who have a full time helper like myself, I don't think I have a choice not to trust my helper, even I don't trust her 100%...

Although I do believe in projecting positive image and the theory of 'having two sides of any story', I'm sure if we ask some employers about their experience with a 'bad' helper, they can come up with some shocking stories as well...It may not be a bad thing to know what some helpers are capable of doing, so we can all be more careful in some areas. For example, these days I'll check/rinse my toothbrush first before applying the toothpaste...but can't worry too much about the soup unfortunately...lol
 
My goodness, what a terrible news!!! It really depends on our luck if we can get a good maid at home or not, the one I got now is slow and forgetful and she really gets me mad all the time as I have to remind her constantly what to do but she still forgets doing it. SHe is now looking after my 2 year old son at home and no one else to monitor her, so .... most of the time I try not to be mad with her , but it's really hard..... when you see her keep making the same mistake again and again..... Oh, it's really difficult to have a good one!!!!
