Daycare workers torture crying toddlers while wearing Halloween mask

An American nursery has come under fire after footage emerged of workers using a terrifying Halloween mask to torture horrified kids as a form of punishment.
The video shows several staff members at Lil’ Blessings Child Care & Learning Center attempting to scare innocent kids into better behaviour in an act described by parents as “hideous.”

Footage posted on Facebook, reportedly taken by a concerned colleague, shows one worker at the Mississippi daycare centre as she intimidates a group of children at a table, The Sun reports.

One worker can be heard telling the woman in the mask to avoid certain toddlers who have “been good,” targeting only those that have been ”bad.”

At one stage, three scared children even resort to hiding behind a shelving unit as the woman pretends to knock down the door.

After entering the room, she then proceeds to chase the tots who start running and wailing in terror.

She then orders the children to “clean up,” even resorting to screaming, before storming off to another class.

The string of incidents, which appeared to traumatise the majority of children, was shared on Facebook on Thursday by a concerned colleague.

Jennifer Kayla Newman claims she recorded the shocking scenes to highlight the actions of her co-worker to parents.

Posting a lengthy statement on Facebook she said: “A couple of weeks ago some girls at the daycare bought Halloween masks to scare the kids, they did it and I never got it on video.

“When I heard she was going to do it again, I recorded to get the proof and then the video was sent to parents to show them how their child was being treated.”

She continued: “I did not video this for sh**s and giggles. It was not funny to me. I did not get amusement out of this.

“The one screaming in the kids faces is NOT me. The one standing next to the girl screaming is NOT me. That laughing in the video is NOT me.”

Jennifer said she had tried to flag her co-workers behaviour for some time but, until now, said she was unable to provide proof.

In a statement released on Thursday, officials said that they were investigating the incident.

“The Monroe County, MS Sheriff‘s Department is aware of video from the daycare in Hamilton and is working with the county prosecutor to see if there is any possible criminal charges that can be filed,” a post on Facebook said.

They later urged angered parents to not seek out the accused workers while the investigation continues.
