What Not to Do When You're Looking for Reliable Help

A well loved member of our family passed suddenly. We sought out house sitters but a neighbor volunteered their son for the job. The boy had always been respectful and appeared trustworthy on the surface. I should have known better when we returned to find him living in filth with two other boys who hadn't even left them food or water. My wife was an angel that she told me not to go away, which took several hours before I fell asleep.
