A babysitter worked for a wealthy family and had a set schedule of 20 hours per week. However, a misunderstanding occurred with the dad, and the babysitter was accused of not caring for the children. The babysitter quit on the spot, but the next day, the parents fired her and accused her of child endangerment. The situation escalated when the older child, who was attached to the babysitter, fell down the stairs and was severely injured. The babysitter feels guilty and asks Reddit if they were the a**hole for leaving the family in this situation. Read on to find out what Reddit thinks.
