When this family hired their babysitter, they thought they did everything right. They interviewed her and even conducted a background check of which she passed. However, when it came to 22-year-old babysitter Alexis Khan, their dog Killian's instincts were keener than Mom and Dad's in this case.
"We noticed the dog was getting very defensive when Alexis was around. He would growl and stand between her and our son. His hair would stand up on the back of his neck and we knew something was up,"said father, Benjamin Jordan. Alexis had been the babysitter of their 7-month-old for five months before they realized something might be wrong. Benjamin placed his iPhone under the coach to get a hidden audio recording. What they heard left them shocked to the core. Alexis was heard cursing at the baby, and they could hear her slapping him, and their son crying.
"We just could not believe it," said Benjamin. They took their son to a doctor immediately, who concluded he was fine. When they contacted authorities to press charges, Alexis confessed and pleaded guilty to assault and battery. Thanks to Killian's protective instincts and the parents who were smart enough to listen to their dog, Alexis won't hurt another child.
"Who knows how many children she has abused or how many more she would have had it not been for our dog," Benjamin said, who is now training Killian to become a psychiatric service dog.
