And if you look statistics instead of scandals then parents, especially mother, are ones who shouldnt be near of their children.
There is no alternative to mothers (or at least easy/acceptable in today's world) but there are alternatives to nannies and baby sitters.

Common sense should be used while using statistics. If a country has 1000 WV and 1 Lada, VW will have always more accidents than Lada. Statistics are good but only for people who have something between their ears to analyze them.
