It could have easily turned into every parent's worst nightmare: 2-year-old Louise Hilton walked right out the door of her daycare in England ... and kept on going! For half a mile! That's right, little Louise apparently decided she'd had enough of nursery school for the day and hightailed it home ... all by herself! According to her parents, at about 1 p.m., they heard a knock at the door ... guess who??

I bet right about now you're thinking, How on earth did that tiny little girl make it home alone? Of course Louise must be incredibly smart -- with a remarkable sense of direction -- but she's also incredibly, incredibly lucky. Just imagine what could have happened on that 30-minute walk!! Seriously, you do it -- I can't, because every time I try to imagine it, I start to feel ill. OH MY GOD, things could have gone so horribly wrong ...

According to her dad, John Hilton:

"It is frightening to think what might of happened had the wrong person seen her ... there is a canal 50 yards from the house and she always tries to jump in and feed the ducks when we go past but she cannot swim."

Cripes! It's enough to make me hyperventilate, and she's not even my kid! I bet right about now you're also thinking something like, How on earth did that tiny little girl escape from her daycare undetected? Supposedly, the facility is under construction and a workman left the door open by accident, which is a plausible excuse sort of kind of I guess not really. I mean to say, I can see how something like that could happen and be a legit accident. But in that case, I would expect one whopper of an apology if I were Louise's mom -- and as of this writing, her parents have NOT gotten any sort of "sorry" at all! Just a big fat "no comment." 

I'm guessing Louise's parents are on the hunt for a new daycare, ASAP. Just look at this face:

And those curls! So cute, so smart ... so lucky. 

Can you imagine your 2-year-old escaping daycare and walking all the way home?

Daycare Owner Let Her Boyfriend Cook Meth While Kids Played in a Nearby Room

Ready for another story sure to give you anxiety the next time you drop you kids off at daycare? Here ya go! A woman in Davenport, Iowa was caught operating a licensed daycare in the same house where her boyfriend ran a meth lab. A METH LAB! Though some people feel that the sentence she received for this crime is way too harsh. 

Amanda Taylor was given 10 years in prison, which is surprising for a first-time offender. It's even more shocking when you learn that her boyfriend, who pleaded guilty to four felonies, got a 25-year suspended sentence and was released on probation. After all, the lab didn't blow up and no one was hurt, right? Well, they could have been. And there is no telling what damage inhaling those meth fumes have done to those children. Chronic exposure could cause cancer and damage to the brain, liver, kidney, spleen, and immune system. During the trial, one mom tearfully described the headaches and sleepless nights her son, who tested positive for meth exposure, was already suffering from. They have no idea what other problems the kids may develop.

It's not as though Taylor didn't know what was going on in that house. Court documents say she provided her boyfriend with meth-making substances. She was essentially putting the health of all those children at risk -- which deserves a serious penalty, as far as I am concerned. A daycare should be a safe haven for kids. Parents certainly expect it to be. Those families deserve justice for what has happened to them.

As hard as that decade-long stint behind bars will be on Taylor, it serves a greater purpose than just punishing her. This is a perfect warning for all those negligent daycare workers who haven’t been caught yet. The sentence is harsh for a first-time offender, but the lesson is no matter who you are, you can’t put kids in jeopardy that way.

Do you think this sentence was fair?
