NYC Nanny Stabbing: Neighborhood, Web In Disbelief

NYC Nanny Stabbing: Neighborhood, Web In Disbelief

When news broke this morning of a 50-year old nanny in New York City who allegedly stabbed two small children to death in their bathtub before turning the knife on herself, residents in the Upper West Side neighborhood were shocked with grief and disbelief. Nannies are not an uncommon thing in that part of town and often live with the family they work for, becoming as close as any other family member. For someone so seemingly normal and trustworthy to have done such a horrific thing is beyond the comprehension of just about everyone the story touches.

2-year old Leo and 6-year old Lucia were found by their mother when she returned home last night from her 3-year old’s swimming lessons, along with the nanny–Yoselyn Ortega–who suffered what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds to her neck. A neighbor said she heard screaming coming from the apartment, as well as someone yelling, “You slit her throat!”

The children’s father, Kevin Krim, is an executive at CNBC. Comcast and NBC released a statement about the murders and about the massive loss this family is dealing with.

“A member of the CNBC family has suffered an unimaginable loss. The sadness that we all feel for Kevin, Marina and their family is without measure. Our thoughts, prayers and unwavering support are with them all.”

The people of New York have been extremely supportive, gathering around the building to lay bouquets of flowers in honor of the children; readers of the story have been equally touched, for the most part. When young children die, it is unfailingly tragic. When they die under such horrific and needless circumstances, it is more than tragedy; it is unfathomable. As a parent, I can say my thoughts will be with the Krim family for quite a while. I’m sure many others feel the same.

      These parents are forever changed because of this horrible murder. I hope in time they find some sort of peace so that they can at least raise their third child. At least they still have her and she’s alive.

    I too am just horrified by what has happened to the Krim family. Mothers and fathers all belong to an exclusive club of unwavering love for their children. I believe there is no stronger love. My prayers go out to this family that will grieve forever for this loss.

    I wonder if this nanny is

    1. deranged?
    2. abused by the employer? But if you’re being abused to the point of killing someone, you must be #1.

    I’m sorry for what had happened, but there must be more to know from this story.

    This would be the hardest thing ever to happen to a mother & father. I think it is double in pain to not hear of the dealths but to walk in and find your precious babies in such a bloody scene. I hope the little sister didn’t see too much. Such a horrid thing to go through and for me to just read this makes me sick.

    Horrifying can’t even describe what has happened to those poor children. And the devastating and unimaginable loss the family is feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, all day I’ve thought of their Mom and the indescribable pain she’s going thru. As a mother among many I know we are all crying and grieving with her. I pray for her and her family that somehow they will get strength and comfort to carry them through this nightmare.

  15. The tears falling down my cheek are pieces of my heart. What a horrible thing to happen. Something this terrible is almost without fathom. I too am a nanny and the love I feel for children would never allow me to commit such an atrocity, I cannot even raise my voice at a small child/infant. How can someone who has displayed love and has given comfort to child then look into their eyes and then STAB them to DEATH!! We will never understand and we will never know what came over the, (and I must believe this) tortured woman where she felt it was something she had to do….I must believe that something happened, something snapped…..how can I believe that a “normal” loving person would take two childrens lives for absolutely no rational reason??? The mother, grandmother, nanny, auntie, lover of all children, in my cannot wrap my head around this!!! Peace be with the family, Love is in my heart for the survivors and I hope that the person who did this BURNS IN HELL

    I live in Brooklyn and have an almost five year old daughter. i am in tears over this story and want to do something, anything for this family..especially for this mother. i have searched to find a story that talks about how to support them, but I can’t find anything. Maybe it’s too soon. I’ll certainly be praying, sending loving energy to these parents and the surviving child. Anyone know of a way to support them?

    My condolences to the parents. I know something of what the parents are going through. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, the percentage of this kind of thing occurring in similar situations is minute. But still, nowadays, if I were taking in a high income, I’d just stay at home with my kids.

      A crazy woman killed 2 children. Let her take the responabilty’
      Why do people always want to shift the blame over? She did it, shes sick and crazy. Leave the parents alone give them respect and room to mourn.

    Maybe if the parents actually took care of their own kids instead of leaving it up to others, this tragedy would not have happened. Makes me sick all these people who hire nannies. Raise your own kids, or don’t have them at all!!

        I cant believe some of these comments. I usually dont read them because i get upset at the stupidity of some people who hide behind their computers to talk smack, which they would not do if it was face to face. Anyway, i feel bad for the parents of these innocent children and the Nanny will hopefully get whats coming to her. RIP little ones.

        To the parents my condolences – this is a nightmare no matter what the circumstaces. To the nanny – how about innocent until proven guilty. This situation should never ever happen in a “caring” society. Maybe we all have to search our consciences.

    All the assholes who are commenting on how much rent people pay, where the nanny is from, etc. are missing the bigger point. Why, with all the murder and mayhem engulfing all of us, do TV and Film still pander to such drivel as “Dexter,” the living dead, Vampires and all such ghoulish garbage. Then we wonder why baby teens are killing baby teens for such bulls*** as bikes and Ipods and sneakers. We have lost our way. Please, people … PLEASE let’s start paying attention to what really matters – God and love and family values. Race doesn’t matter. Financial status doesn’t matter. Hug your kids and let them know their value. Teach them not to bully. Teach them to work for the things they want in life. Teach them how to love, how to appreciate the important things in life. Teach them to live to help others less fortunate. God bless this family who has lost sooooo much. God bless the 3 yr. old. We can only hope she saw more than she’ll ever remember. My heart aches for all of them and for all of us.

  39. Is this just a rare case of mental illness or perhaps a “warnin sign”.It seems alot of denial abounds,like “global warming” being a liberal scam ect. The JOKE ain’t funny and the “lies” are being “exposed”. Perhaps it’s narly too late to change the devistation. President Carter tried, I think, and his reward was constant ridicule by rightwingers visa vee the media.It boils down to GREED peeps and we know it!

    This is devastating! Even if I try to muster up all the hatred, malice, evil, debauchery, heinous acts, and other diabolical thoughts that may or have ever entered my mind, there is NOTHING that I can come up with to even imagine what those two babies experienced prior to their death or even what, if anything, (other than something more evil than I even care to imagine or could ever comprehend)would have made this woman do what she did. To have had the children’s family spend time with her family and for them to treat her as if she was a part of theirs and THEN she kills their children, OH MY GOD, the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL. I pray God’s peace for them during this tragedy which is the only peace that will suffice at this time.

      There was someone else there!!! No one is talking about what really happened! No one is talking about the truth! Kevin Krim is a man who has been targeted by very powerful people, this incident is no coincidence by any means! The nanny was not crazy, thats just the cover up…be real and look at the facts. The fact is Kevin Krim was behind an article which was posted on CNBC website pointing to a massive lawsuit against powerful people running the banks, if I gave you the number of how much this lawsuit was for you wouldnt believe what I am telling you. Shortly after posting the article his children and his childrens nanny were assassinated, shortly after their death the article was removed from their website!! Luckly people took actual screen shots of the article, which may be the only evidence that will lead anyone to believe the true story. here is a link find out for yourself, spread the word, share this information and bring the real criminals to justice.
