Crazy maids - what to do?

Sikh maid, Arshdeep Kaur strangled her 2 1/2 year old ward after she was overcome by a rush of emotion brought on my a mental condition. She had arrived only 7 months ago from INDIA. The mum got worried when she realised that the cctvs she had installed suddenly lost picture and got the neighbours to go and check. The Maid had run away by then and the neighbour could not revive the boy. Such a scary story man. How do we ensure our helpers don’t go crazy like this and attack our babies?
