Daycare Fightclub

Tiana Harris, 19, Lisa Parker, 47, and Estefania Myers, 21, were operating a daycare out of a home and taking state assistance to provide those services. Its a rather common thing that people do- watch little underpriveleged kids while the Mom is trying to work to get off welfare. What is not common, however, is forcing little toddlers to fight each other.

From CBS here:

Three daycare employees were arrested on Monday for allegedly watching and encouraging toddlers to fight each other while under their care after a cell phone video showed employees watching and encouraging two 3-year-olds fight each other.

Tiana Harris, 19, Lisa Parker, 47, and Estefania Myers, 21, were charged with Assault, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Reckless Endangering and Conspiracy for the incident, which occurred in March of 2012 and was captured on cell phone video.

In the video, police say one child can be heard crying and yelling, ‘He’s pinching me,’ while a daycare worker responds, ‘No pinching, only punching.’”

The fight video is not being shown to parents or the public because police say it is evidence.

Hands of Our Future Daycare, located at 868 S. State St., has had its City of Dover Business License suspended pending a hearing.

I thought daycare places like this were supposed to provide a “head start” for kids? Oh yeah, “don’t trust teachers” is a good thing to learn early.
