Day-Care Workers Accused of Organizing Toddler Fight Club


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.

"No pinching, only punching," one of the adults allegedly coaches the children. It's the story that is setting the Internet on fire Tuesday, along with "toddler fight club" headlines.

The employees of Hands of Our Future day-care were arrested Monday after police viewed "the cellphone video of an incident that occurred in March of 2012 where the three female employees watched and encouraged two 3-year-olds to fight each other while at the day-care," according to a Dover Police Department statement posted online.

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."


And...
Although the incident happened in March, it only came to the attention of a police officer this weekend, during the course of an unrelated investigation.


So what's the unrelated investigation? Gack.
