There is a big difference between a crying baby's ability to annoy, and screams that by nature's design are effective at waking others up better than an alarm clock. One does not have to be loud, in order to annoy.

Naturally, the oldest person in the house is now in charge.
Police say a 16-year-old relative who was supposed to be babysitting suffers from a mental disorder.
An adult left the teenager in charge of several young children, including Jermane, so they could pick up the boys father at a bus stop.

You can pretty much figure out that the parents are not (still) teenagers at least because there is a five year old an an infant, very low odds, and they are likely mid 30s, middle aged. It comes across as 2 adults, not seperated, in the family and well to do because again there are 2 children and I say well to do because you said it's a big house.
Who claimed she was experienced?

A babysitter that leaves water in the tub and goes to sleep, is not experienced.
How many more strawmen are you planning to create?

And yeah, I guess we all COULD have been mentally challenged. Or the babysitter COULD have been deaf, etc. I guess this absolves us of all responsibility when we did not help when we could, because any of us could have been born without limbs, born without sight, born without hearing. Hmm..
