Authorities in New Jersey say two employees of a day care center encouraged children to fight each other on at least one day. The Union County prosecutor charged Erica Kenny, 22, of Cranford, and Chanese White, 28, of Roselle, with fourth-degree child abuse. Kenny was also charged with third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Prosecutors said the two women, who were employed at Lightbridge Academy in Cranford, instigated fights among children who were between 4 and 6. Kenny shot video of the so-called fight club and shared them with friends on social media, authorities said. The videos show boys and girls pushing and shoving and trying to hit each other. Authorities said Kenny can be heard on the videos referring to the scene as "fight club," in a reference to the famous book and movie.
The Lightbridge Academy issued a statement saying that it was "shocked and saddened by this isolated incident."

Before anything comments, remember the first rule about fight club...
And the second rule.
This happens among 7 and 8 year old Second Graders in Tacoma, WA.
Their “fathers” turn them out to fight, and bet on the results.
The kids are proud because they “get to fight for daddy”.
So what, these 2 Albert Einsteins said to each other, “no way anyone will find out about this”?
In my view, its as bad as sexual abuse.
Its preying on the naivety and innocence of children. its corrupting. Its making them socially malformed. Its instilling fear and emotional distress. Its causing physical harm. Its teaching that adults and the strong dominate the weak for their entertainment
Throw the book at these losers.
Chuck Norris talks about fight club.
It’s actually not funny. Cellblock C for about 20 years oughta get their attention.
This is why my grandmother hated day cares! Mom stay at home with your kids!!
So sad to see parents turn over their precious children to the care of strangers. No paid stranger values your child’s welfare as much as you do.
True, and often said strangers are paid little (and resent what you are earning while they take care of your children). I’d rather be poor than have strangers watch my loved ones, and have had my chance to put my money where my mouth is.
It isn’t funny, nut how many of these stories do we need before we start blaming parents who assume somebody making chump change could care less for (or is qualified to care for) their child? There is simply no reason to assume “caretakers” are doing anything of the sort; my wife took a leave of absence from her job (which we could ill afford) to look after her father when he was hospitalized for many months. She quickly realized that staff was quite willing to do nothing for anyone if they felt they could get away with it; when someone is there with the patient they move their arses.
Not surprising since “cage fighting” for boys is legal in several states though I presume for older age groups than in this case..
...have had my chance to put my money where my mouth is.

Same here.
I imagine that the souls of these adults will meet fury after death. Corrupting and hurting little ones without sorrow and repentance is really bad news. I hope they turn their lives and minds around to love and sweetness - the way they were created to be.
