texas daycare worker flees the country after daycare fire

[itpaystobeme]

That's sad and senseless.

[lolsid17]

I went to a house daycare :)

[jay12345ist]

this is a great example that actions are easier said than done

[CartoonPropaganda]

This story is too emotional :(

[jg1029xx]

i really like your opinions about all the stories u talk about. I agree with you all the time.

[HurricaneSalim]

Some crazy-ass people live in Houston!!! I should know! I LIVE there!

[WHISPERBBY]

I know not all daycares are bad, but things like this and other things you hear that go on in daycares, makes me rethink about taking my son to a daycare.

[TheZepmeister]

Her excuse is this..She didn't give a shit about those kids she probably knew the oil was on probably just worried about herself only.

[adebayous]

Have heard so many people talk shit, I tell you what this lady has some sense up her brain, just listen to the way she analyzed the whole situation...Thumbs up girl...Common sense is up in your brain.

[nascar51523fan]

someones getting the death penalty

[vjnvsmcv123]

i love the way u talk lol

[PiccoloCavolo]

On March 19th she was captured in Nigeria and taken back to the states where she is being arraigned. She plead not guilty to a plethora of charges, each of which could land her 20+ yrs in jail.

[chiassrt]

cause they'd had some code violations and until fixed they were not to be up and running but firefighters and detectives found that not only were they keeping the amound of kids thy were allowed to keep thought they were supposed to temperarly shut down, but in the backi of the building they had twelve more kids stuffed in a trailer tat they were keeping and right then and there I said they must have been doing this only for the money and thats what Tata was doing trust me i'm rightyou'll see.

[chiassrt]

you can trust me i'm a christian I love kids and I hope you will choose me as the caregiver to your kids.Look only in America ppl make caregiving their job title.you may find maybe a few ladies from the West Indies working in that profession but Africans hell no.This samething happened 3 yrs ago here in houston,these Nigerians that ran and owned an actual daycare facility here had a fire breakout and the shit hit the fan after a lil boy died. They weren't even supposed to be back in business

[chiassrt]

I'm gon say it again if you have no experience in caring for kids like Tata didn't have you gon fuck up.Look she was only 22 and I can't understand for the life of me why people are still saying her age had nothing to do with it when it did.I'll say it again being african myself the daughter of a mother from Mali,Africans don't make babysitting their job title so the parents should have found something strange after Tata approached them.Thats like an asian saying lady saying she runs a daycare

[chiassrt]

You can check into anyones background these days and if you don't have access to a computer you can go through neighborhood the neighborhood centers in your state to see if a person is ligit that system is not just for low income parents it's for anybody some pay zip 0 some pay half and some pay full.

[chiassrt]

the fire and when you came home and the shit hit the fan you were not crying at all you just had this dumb look on you face. Oh and now she is trying to claim she did try to help those babies by breaking windows and shit and she ended up with cuts all over her arem. BITCH! you had no cuts on your are cause if you did it would've been reported cause it was reported the first day that you had been to the grocery store shopping and it was proven so stop with the bullshit ass lies.

[chiassrt]

atmosphere. Now she is trying to claim she is one of the kids who got burned up and died godmother. This lil girl and her parents are Africans too and they said Tata talked about wanting to be the lil girls godmother but they never officially agreed. I hope they fry her ass like fish cause how you such a christian but you obviously didn't have any food at your home to feed these babies thats why you left them at home alone, not your kids but somebodies elese with grease on a lit stove causing

[chiassrt]

to start a new life work in the braid shop for awile to work their debt off but they are forced to stay. Why would any parent trust their kids with a person who passes out their bussiness card in the grocery store foreal are you serious who does that.Yes beauticans may do that braid shops barber shops too but a person running a daycare. All of the parents saiid when they meet her she came to them with this story about she ran an in-home daycare i'm a christian I love the lord and you'll love my

[chiassrt]

they don't keep kids cause they can afford to take their kids to a upscale daycare. Look Tata is Nigerian and as I can remember Africans don't run daycares out of their home period. When Africans come to America they come to go to college and become a lawer doctor scam the insurance company ect. ect. not to run a daycare. Yes you have these new set of Africans that or over here from Mali my hometown who run braid shops but most of them are working against their will thinking they are coming here

[chiassrt]

First off the ppl saying the parents were stupid for trusting their kids with a 22yr old they are completely right 100% look Jessica Tata has no kids of her own and she even tried to burn her high school down twice cause she didn't wanna take a test. For one I know her prices per day for keeping those kids wasn't cheap, cause she lives in Katy, Texas in a very upscale neighborhood not as upscale as the one her brother and mother lives in but it was fabulous, and people in those hoods don't keep.

[thetexanfan]

Tata is back in Houston and in jail. This is a no win situation for eveyone. Those babies deserved to have a chance at life and that has been robbed from them. A sad story, and after losing a child to S.I.D.S., it hurts for the rest of your life wondering who they would of become. I just question the boiling oil and forgetting about it to go to the store. I bet she didn't forget much when she was in a hurry to leave the U.S. My condolences to the families. More lies from Tata sure to come soon.

[silverstorm1000]

I just found your videos and I reckon I will get hooked haha. I remember when I first found fluffee's videos hehe.

[PearlfectJourney]

Speak, Ti!!!

[iambeautybyme]

TI you are my role model I like how you keep it real no matter what other people say i think they are hating on you because you are not scared to go against the mainstream media thanks for the videos

[MrsBooker100]

I dont trust no day care. The only people allowed to watch my son, is my mother, his father, or my younger sister. Thats it!

[SassySoulja4]

That's a damned mess.

[VikingLady219]

You are absolutely right, common sense ain't so common! And what was so important at the store that she needed that she left 7 kids ALONE.......

I wonder if Nigeria will be very cooperative in helping extradite her if she did indeed flee there. Nigeria has had an extradition treaty with the U.S. since 1935.

[TheNaturalmystery]

Totally agree. At one point I was spending upwards of $800 a month on daycare. It's expensive, and people shouldn't judge. Summer is often a hard time for finding sitters also. Folks often forget how hard it is when you have to work and find a good sitter.

[JustWannaBeNatural]

Hey Ti, I agree with everything and my mother in law is and has been a blessing for us, when my kids were little. But for the parents that lost a child it is not just the gilt, it will be hard for them on every birthday, & holiday they don't get to see that child and watch them grow. To see the growth & the change my kids did, it was the best. I lost my first child nothing like how these parents lost theirs. But I MISS my baby, I always wonder bout her looks, personality, girls day. Ifeel4them!!

[CandyApple839]

To be honest the ideal solution is not at a daycare.  My daughter goes to a very overpriced daycare and when they close for a "stupid" reasons I am so stressed. So there is a major scramble to find someone bcuz no family in the area and let me tell you the back up plans are not always ideal. I would feel uncomfortable leaving my child with a woman who has 6 other kids in her care. But sometimes it's either leaving them with the 6 other kids or losing your job. I'm just saying.

[bahianut]

Common sense you are right..however I can't really believe that she has love for children she should not have left them alone. She is negligent and should be held accountable. Wow she is 22 years old thats pretty young to be watching 7 kids that sort of explains why she left them alone. She does not have the experience. Pray for those kids and their parents. They can forgive. Her life will not be easy god will handle her.

[lav20050]

Im glad your mum is going to take your son to school and also help from your brother

i know whats its like when you got to be somewhere and chl care is neede

[arahsrat]

The blame is solely on that Nigerian lady. She was negligent. You NEVER NEVER NEVER leave a baby/toddler/small child in a room alone, let alone in a HOUSE alone!!!! And to go shopping??? Is the price of 4 dead babies worth the shopping spree?? She ran like a COWARD! If her family is helping her avoid charges, then that speaks highly on why she is the way she is...they raised her to be a coward. I hope they catch her ass and lock her up!!!

[PoohPrincess10]

I agree with you...I use to be a babysitter when I was like 15 years of age. I looked after people's kids and everything. Also when I was little my dad did a lot of business trips & traveled a lot for his job, so my mom had 2 depend on all sorts of friends, neighbors, co-workers everything. Finally people want to say ok, well I would never leave my kids in the hands of a 18-20 year old. My question is...does your kid go 2 resident summer camp, cuz' guess what age your kid's cabin counselors are?

[iluvyouwyatt]

Ti I really look up to you, God bless you and thanks for making these videos :)

[lovelyti2002]

@iluvyouwyatt

thank you so much=)

[Sinaii]

On the video, great speaker and real talk. But as far as Tata, just because you take care of children doesn't mean you love children. There are several women who take in kids just for the money, especially foster parents. My partner was in foster care with her Sister and 3 cousins. The Foster parent only wanted the $. She'd chain the cabinets and refrigerator so they couldn't eat. She would also measure everything that they did eat (cereal etc). Tata was negligent, period!

[mimi3000]

I heard that she Started a fire in a school trash can when tata was In high school plus two years ago two children were left home alone while the aunt said that she cared more about the food stamps than the two children in the burning house the three year old died

[kaliyuta]

awww student council meetings.lol!! School store.hahaha i remember school store.No need to buy supplies they are always at the school store.I love children and have always wanted to be a nanny or au pair.nobody trusts good people anymore.

[tab2n0]

I remember when i could no longer afford daycare and my mom coculdn't watch my kids any longer because she's older and it was just too much for her, i had to swallow my pride and ask my children's father's girlfriend to watch them which killed me, but like you said when your faced with a situation, you may do things or make decisions that you would not normally do..i'm with you on that T

[lolagloss]

i agree!! As a first year teacher I'm 22 and responsible for 25 kids daily. So her age was not a problem if she had the proper training and degrees. Like you said common sense is not common it is rare!!!!

[PhantomLyric]

Oh, anD T. The reason she wasn't arrested and jailed was because she originally lied and said that the fire started while she was in the bathroom.

[PhantomLyric]

To the people who are judging, Home Daycares are legal, certified, and are in abundance in many states. My mother went to school for 3 EXTRA years to get more degrees and certification just to qualify. She had already been certified for the past 20 years, had experience even RUNNING a daycare, yet she had to go through so much just to be able to open a home daycare. 22 is more than old enough to have gotten her credentials so if she was the cheapest these ppl could find and was certified, fine.

[lovelyti2002]

@PhantomLyric

thanks you for breaking it down about ur mom!

I've always used licensed HOME daycares, until recently.

People are crazy as hell, they acted like these parents left their kids

With some random old person with 100 cats!!

22 is more then old enough to care for multiple kids, I remember babysitting

Upwards of 5 kids at age 11...so at 22 she knew better!

Thanks for letting me know why they let her go, I didn't know she lied at first.

This chick has no character or conscious smdh!!!

[PhantomLyric]

@lovelyti2002 You're welcome. yeah she is a dog. And to up and run away like that. Then again, she probably feared for her life. lol...Because I'm sure the parents want her head on a platter.

[DEANAMIERRA]

@lovelyti2002 OMG! THANK YOU! Not only are the at home workers certified but workers at the "renowned" daycares are not required to have the same certification if any. My sister did OJT in high school for credits at a local Rclub for toddlers no job experience, no experience with kids, no certificatio, no training!

[3KingsEnt100]

shut the fuck up

[3KingsEnt100]

im talkin to u : @PhantomLyric

[PhantomLyric]

@3KingsEnt100 Someone wants attention. It has been paid, sadly for you, this is your last day. Fuck off. This WILL be my last reply to your bum ass. Have a nice day.

[OhMySweetStars]

The fact that she left 7 young children alone in a house (and this is her job, she is not a feckless mother) and went out to shop was stupid! Fire or no fire! She is to blame, not the parents!

[deeplynluv]

extradite this heffa back to the US, beat her ass and lock her up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lloyd614]

Ti,

This was the most REAL-est post! I do not have children, but my sisters all do. Like you, we have a close-enough knit family where we all look out for each other. You are SO right! It really gets under my skin when people have so much "MOUFF" (sp. mouth) about shoes they have NEVER walked a day in! Everyone is so full of opinions, but can't relate to you on the smallest level of the situation. This story is indeed sad! My heart goes out to all of those whom were affected...

[lovelyti2002]

@lloyd614

Thanks Lloyd, I know we all have the right to judge and have opinions,

But damn be judgmental about stuff that makes sense. These folks that were talking mess had no valid points and better yet these Morons had no SOLUTIONS on what parents can do.

I wasn't always a single mom, I was married to their dad but now that I've

Moved on... I'm SO grateful to have my family and friends they are a true blessing.

I'm glad your family is close as well;)

[jamsng]

@lovelyti2002 dang ur blessed jus saw the video u made about u got a new job in december and u are at a new job again damn i hope when i finish school i am so lucky

[Luckey2007]

This is the BEST video that you have done that I have seen (and ALL of your videos are good.) People need to be reminded not to judge people. It's SO easy but people shouldn't speak on paths they never walked.

[sistamoon2k2]

This is a terrible story. This woman should've known better than to leave the home Just terrible! She couldve called a neighbor to go get groceries or someone else.....jeez. I know this will torment her for the rest of her life. I feel bad for her. But more importantly I feel more empathy for the parents of these children that died due to this foolish woman's carelessness.

[yurika975]

@sistamoon2k2

it is really a tragic situation. I'm in houston. It just makes me and my family cry. I feel for the families of the injured and the kids that died :( I also feel for the girl. She was foolish. But it's like this young generation just doesn't connect the dots with the consequences. You see it all the time. It's like they have the thought it won't happen to me. i also feel like she may have been leaving the kids alone for some time and didn't think anything bad would happen

[lush4real]

did u say both your brother's girlfriends? two of 'em?

[lovelyti2002]

@lush4real

I have 2 brothers they are a year a part...

they both have 1 girlfriend and I'm cool with both of the ladies ;)

[lush4real]

@lush4real Oops my bad :-) Glad you have such a loving family. All the best and keep the vids coming

[Unekwu89]

HPD is a mess. There isnt a month that goes by where they arent fucking something up or some poor man is being released from jail because of a wrong conviction that is the result of the crime labs mixed up DNA sampling or some dumb shit.

[Unekwu89]

There is no excuse for this. What kills me the most is that all these kids were under 3 yrs of age, they couldnt escape even if they wanted to. SMH

[keta4332]

that responsibility is left completely on the worker (she was negligent with her behavior). there are plenty of parents that send their kids to home daycare b/c 1) they don't have folks that will babysit for them 2) it's a lot cheaper. the folks that bad talked the parents of the babies are probably not parents. folks that's not parents can NOT relate to issues of parenthood. i am not a parent & i quickly say: i can't relate b/c i'm not a parent.

[iloveblack101]

You are a very decent person!!! I love your videos!!

[Matty4eva2000]

Believe me Ti when I say that you dont have to like kids to look afther them. Take it from me who was looked after by a nigerian 'grandmother' (child minder) for several years. This woman I don't think like kids and she was incredibly abusive towards us children. And we as kids couldnt say anything becasue that kind of 'discipline' is ingrained in our culture. Basically as long as a nigerian child minder doesnt kill a kid or beat them until they are disabled everything is permitted.

[lovelyti2002]

@Matty4eva2000

honestly your right, i was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt because

she ran a daycare business, and i truly hope that at 22 she wasn't mean and bitter towards those kids.

lol i do agree with you about the nigerian "aunties/minders...i still have scars smh.

[NuPointofView]

i pretty much argree with everything you said! It's insane that some people would blame the parents, but that's the world we live even. As for the daycare provider, the only thing she can do is turn herself in and own up to her negligence. I'm sure the guilt will be punishment enough, but that doesn't change the fact that she should be behind bars.

[butterfli78]

people always have something negative to say. i missed those days when grandma or great-grandma or a neighbor was around to help out with the kids. nowadays everyone is working as much as they can to make ends meet. smh...such a sad story

[purdybrown21]

@butterfli78 amen gulr. it is a shame that grandma cant watch the babies anymore...she gotta work too!!!

[lovelyti2002]

@purdybrown21 @butterfli78

yeah ITA it's sad everyone has to work...

stay at home mom's and dad's are almost a thing of the past. if a parent is home now a days, it's cus they were recently laid off smh.

[kareemtiheed]

@purdybrown21 Or like my ex's mom said about her own grands....I didn't get any pleasure in making them so I watch them when I want....not when you want or need! So I had to live tight as a single dad. No extra's but we made it. She is 17 now and wonderful due to me,dad

[purdybrown21]

@kareemtiheed big ups to you dad. thats wats up. fathers are a rare comodity...

[wallykit]

Oh my god. This is horrible. I had not heard of this. I agree with everything you said.

[tcw00]

SMH

[Urhoboman5]

The world is insane!!!

[htowngurl17]

i live in houston and this all the news talk about they just laid to rest the last child today......i agree with everything you said
