The First Rule Of Fig ... Oh Wait, They Can't Talk



     Three employees from Hands of Our Future daycare center have been arrested ... and released on $10,000 bail ... after they were caught running a baby fight club. Guess those kids didn't get the message ...

     
     No, in all seriousness though, these women were encouraging toddlers to punch and kick each other! In a video that was captured, one child was heard crying and yelling that another child was pinching him, and the response from his "caregiver" was that there was to be no pinching, "only punching."
     WTF. Clearly the three women involved have some real daddy issues or something, or God-forbid, were seriously mistreated as children ... because how on Earth, can you stand there and watch children be physically hurt? It's just not right.

     If you've been reading this blog for some time now, you know that I substitute teach ... and the ages are from pre-school through high school. When I am in a classroom with little ones, I am scared half the time that someone will trip and fall, or hit their head, or cut their finger with a scissor ... It's nerve-wracking! HECK! The same thing goes for the damn high school students who act a'fool half the time climbing on chairs and desks ... Lookin' like their gonna break a leg or something.
     How these women got through days and days of this, I haven't a clue - It's heartless.

I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be. (Greatest Love of All, Whitney Houston)
