Desiree LeBlanc from Des Moines, Iowa, worked as a child protective investigator for the Department of Human Services. Due to her time in the field, she felt as though she knew what to look for when it came to looking for a caretaker for her own little one.
So when she was referred to Christina Williamson by a family friend, she thought she had found a diamond in the rough in terms of nannies, but things did not turn out that way at all.
When Desiree set up a meet-and-greet with Christina at her home where she cared for children, she found herself quite impressed. Her house was immaculately neat and she had plenty of fun toys and even a large backyard space for all the kids to play in.
After Desiree made the decision to put her child in Christina’s care, she found herself equally impressed with her dedication to making sure she was kept in the loop about everything that was happening during the day and was immediately notified when any concerns came up.
Things took a turn when Desiree was at work one day and her supervisor informed her that she needed to go and pick up her child from the day care center and to not speak to the proprietor of the business.
According to KCCI Des Moines, it was Christina Williamson’s own husband who suspected his wife of performing unlawful acts toward children, so he set up a video camera in their home to see what was happening.
