Build a Better Babysitter Info...
"A recent study from Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital reports that 40% of 11 to 13 yr old babysitter had left children unattended, and 20% had opened the door to strangers. If your tween is planning to make some extra cash by watching little kids, or even siblings, find her a babysitting-safety class in your area. (less than one fifth of young sitters had taken one)"
