Three daycare workers in Delaware have been arrested for allegedly encouraging toddlers to fight each other.
Police said they were shocked when they came across a video that recorded a fight between two three-year-olds. “It was a difficult video to watch,” Police Captain Tim Stump said. The kids “were just whaling on each other. I mean punching, slapping, pinching, throwing each other into tables.” Capt. Stump said it was clear the adults were “egging” the children on. In the video, one child is heard yelling, “He’s pinching me.” A daycare worker allegedly responded, “No pinching, only punching.” |
