Day-care workers accused of urging toddlers to fight -- on video

Three Delaware day-care workers are accused of urging two 3-year-old toddlers to fight each other while the adults egged them on -- and videotaped it, police said.

The suspects have been charged with assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment and conspiracy. They were identified as Tiana Harris, 19, and Lisa Parker, 47, both of Dover; and Estefania Myers, 21, of Felton.

But Dover Police Capt. Tim Stump told FoxNews.com that the video was "difficult" to watch: "One of the kids involved ran over to one of the adults for protection, but she turned him around back into the fight."

The children "were just wailing on each other," Stump said in an interview on NBC10, WCAU. "I mean punching, slapping, pinching, throwing each other into tables."
