Would you let him babysit your kids?


We live next door to the Polanskis in Paris and Roman has offered to come over and babysit our daughters at the weekend. The wife isn't sure about it but we don't get the chance of night out very often so I said we should go for it. What would you do?

I would only let a licensed child care provider babysit the kids, pending satisfactory results of a background screening.

I decided to edit this post so that people actually can read what you said.... After all, trolling can get you deleted.

"Would you let him babysit your kids?""
Well, I am not a neighbor who lives in Paris. He dosen't know me and I certainly don't know him. He's a high priced director! Other than a few of the movies I have seen that he has directed, I can only say that I enjoy his work. I personally doubt that he would come all the way to Wisconsin and allow me the Neighbor's Rate for babysitting services.
Nope. I can't hire this guy..... not at those rates!
Seriously.... Where the HELL do you REALLY live????

Sure! Right after I let my thirteen-year-old daughter finish babysitting HIS kids!

Yes, I'm joking.

That happened just last week, my partner and I had a table booked at a new restaurant for our first night out in ages, we left our young daughter at home with Mr Polanski who was only too happy to babysit just for a couple of hours.

The next day, when I asked my daughter how it went she said "Old Roman, he was a bit ropey!"

I laughed until days later it dawned upon me that she may have said "Old Roman, he was a bit rapey!"

I can’t defend RP’s crimes but i refuse to erase Chinatown from history as it’s one of the greatest films ever made.

No, nor any other farm animals I may have....

Well take the fact that he's a fugitive for justice for sexually assaulting a minor out of the equation and ask yourself if you'd allow an 84 year old man to babysit your kids.

If you answer yes to that then you can move on to part two which is "is there anything in this person's past that would make me not want to leave my children alone with him?"
