2 Former Day Care Workers Ran Kiddie 'Fight Club'

http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/09/02/prosecutors-2-former-new-jersey-day-care-workers-ran-fight-club-kids

Two former New Jersey day care workers are accused of running a “fight club” for kids between the ages of 4 and 6 years old.

Prosecutors say that 22-year-old Erica Kenny and 28-year-old Chanese White made a dozen children at Lightbridge Academy fight each other on the playground.

Kenny allegedly recorded the fights and shared them on Snapchat. Prosecutors say that one of the women could be heard saying “fight club” in a video.

Thankfully, none of the children were injured.

Lightbridge Academy called this an isolated incident and said the day care is working with authorities on the investigation.

Kenny and White are due in court on Friday. Both women face child abuse charges, and Kenny is also charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

If convicted, Kenny could face up to five years behind bars, while White could get 18 months in prison.

Was it actually fighting, or just little kids roughhousing? Stupid either way, but if fun was had by all, and nobody got hurt I would be inclined to go easier on them.

All it says is that there was a video of kids fighting on the playground. This sounds like a one time deal for a cute video, not a conspiracy to teach kids to fight.

 Multiple VIDEOS.  If it was a natural fight between kids and the teachers had nothing to do with it - you really think the prosecutor would be involved.  They posted the evidence on the internet!  

 

A DOZEN children. 

 

Did you read the same article?

N.J. day care 'fight club' not the first of its kind in the U.S.

CRANFORD — The two former employees of a day care center who were accused of instigating and filming fights among the children in their care are only the most recent of several childcare employees who have been found encouraging kiddie "fight clubs."

Erica Kenny, 22, of Cranford and Chanese White, 28, of Roselle both were charged with fourth-degree child abuse for the alleged fights between about a dozen children, ages 4 to 6, at the Lightbridge Academy day care center on South Avenue East, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park said Tuesday.

The charges shocked our readers, and yet, such "fight club" incidents have been reported three other times across the country since 2012. It's unclear, however, if they were influenced by each other or some other source.

Delaware

In 2012, three employees of the Hands of Our Future Daycare in Dover were charged with assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangering and conspiracy after a cell phone video showed them watching and encouraging two 3-year-olds to fight each other, according to NBC 10.com.

According to the report, one child can be heard yelling, "He's pinching me," while the employee responds, "No pinching, only punching."

The day care had its license suspended pending a hearing, the report says, and appears to no longer be in business.

The three women pleaded guilty to the charges and were released on probation, according to Delaware State News.

Texas

In Dec. 2014, officials launched an investigation into the Children's Universe of Lake Conroe day care after a video surfaced of a 4-year-old being "pummeled by a classmate" with an employee encouraging the melee, Click2Houston.com reported.

 

"When he needed somebody to help him and sit there and protect him, they were exploiting him," the boy's mothers said in the report. "I paid them to take care of my baby and not have him in a toddler 'fight club.'"

The teacher suspected of sending the video worked at the day care for about a year and was fired a week prior to the investigation for an unrelated incident of not properly supervising children, the report says.

Ohio

Two Ohio day care workers were fired after video surfaced of the adults watching two toddlers fight and encouraging the behavior, 10tv.com reported.

According to the report, the video showed a 3-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl hitting each other while two female day care teachers can be heard taunting the children to keep fighting, one yelling "Get him back!" and "Stop crying!"

When asked why she didn't stop the fight, one of the workers said she "didn't want to get injured," the report says.
