Babysitter Checking for ‘Monster’ in Child’s Room Finds Man Hiding Under the Bed: Police

A babysitter in Kansas made a shocking discovery while attempting to prove to one of the children she was looking after that there wasn’t a “monster” hiding underneath the bed.

On Monday, March 24, at around 10:30 p.m. local time, authorities responded to “a reported disturbance call” at the 2000 block of Patton Road, which is just outside the city of Great Bend, the Barton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a Facebook post on March 26.

“Upon arrival the deputies contacted the victim who stated she was babysitting children at the residence. When putting the children to bed, one child complained there was a ‘monster’ under their bed,” police said.

“When the victim attempted to show the child there was nothing under the bed, she came face-to-face with a male suspect who was hiding there. An altercation ensued with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle. The suspect then fled the scene before deputies arrived,” the post added.
