Like every other parent in the New York metropolitan area, I've been closely following the case of the nanny who stabbed two of the kids in her care. 

She was just reviewed by a psychiatrist and found fit for trial, but I guess it wasn't a clear decision. 

The judge, Justice Gregory Carro, said two state psychiatrists had interviewed Ms. Ortega and reviewed her “rather voluminous” medical records and determined that she was able to participate in her defense in a meaningful way.

Sounds like the Stabbing Nanny had a long history of mental illness. 

Should nannies have to get a license to practice? If gun owners have to go through a background check, shouldn't the same go for the people who left to mind your children? 

Thoughts?
