When Jenna Cooper got home from work last August and heard that another mother in her Brooklyn neighborhood called the cops on her nanny, her immediate reaction was fear. “I heard the word ‘police,’ and got really nervous,” Cooper, a lawyer in Brooklyn, tells Yahoo Parenting. “But after my nanny Nicki explained the situation to me, my worry turned to anger and disbelief.” Turned out Nicki had been at the park with Cooper’s daughter, Anna, who often took her afternoon nap in her stroller. On this day, Anna was crying before she fell asleep, which wasn’t unusual. “My daughter has a strong set of lungs, and she sometimes cries when she’s put down to nap, as I imagine many kids do,” she says. “Since we did sleep training with her when she was very young, we’re fine with that — as Nicki knows.”

Not so fine was a local mother, who approached Nicki and asked why the baby was crying, and why Nicki wasn’t doing anything about it. After hearing Nicki’s explanation, the mother accused her of neglect — and then called the cops. “Anna did in fact fall asleep,” Cooper says. “And when the cops showed up, they laughed that they were called in.”
