    What happened to the babysitter?

    The couple’s 14-year-old babysitter told police she and Ms Backeberg then hitchhiked to Madison, Wisconsin’s state capital, and from there caught a bus to Indianapolis, Indiana, about 300 miles (480km) away.

    The babysitter then became nervous and wanted to return home, but Ms Backeberg refused and was last seen walking away from the bus stop.

      She’s still there to this day, doomed to sit on babies forever while waiting for a train that’ll never come.

        But why did she go with her in the first place? What about the kids, did they go with her? These are the drama elements at the beginning of a movie and now we’ll never know.

          Why did the 14 year old babysitter escape with the abused 20 year old mother of two who married at age 15?

          I think I have a pretty good idea.
