I was babysitting for my sister. At 3 a.m., her baby monitor lit up.

Her baby was asleep when a whisper crackled through the monitor: “He’s not okay.” Frozen with fear, I called my sister Irina. She told me to grab her son and run to the car, then call 911. Heart pounding, I hurried Micah into the car and waited anxiously as police searched the locked house but found nothing.
Irina revealed that her ex, Dorian, had been stalking her and might have hacked the baby monitor he gifted them. Detectives confirmed Dorian had remote access and arrested him. But during questioning, he denied the whisper and hadn’t used the monitor in days—so who was behind it?
Weeks later, a neighbor found a hidden voice recorder transmitting the eerie message. Police traced it to a private investigator hired by Dorian’s mother to intimidate Irina in a custody battle. Both faced charges for illegal surveillance.
The experience shook us but strengthened our bond. Micah is safe now, surrounded by love and protection. It taught me that danger often hides behind familiar faces, and trusting your instincts and loved ones can save you.
