James and Helena Longfellow sit with daughter Audrianna, 3, in Paxton. The Longfellows discovered abuse by their baby sitter by hiding a video camera in an air vent to make an audio recording.
When it comes to being away from their 3-year-old daughter, James and Helena Longfellow have it timed down to the minute.
