FULL TITLE: Horrific video of St Louis daycare FIGHT CLUB shows toddlers punching each other's heads into the floor and crying on the sidelines while their teachers jumped up and down in excitement

A horrified Missouri mother is suing her sons' former daycare center after two teachers hosted a 'fight club' and encouraged the toddlers to beat each other up.

Video has since emerged of the disturbing December 2016 incident, which shows children pounding each other to the ground while others break down in tears.

Nicole Merseal's 10-year-old son filmed the horrific one-day 'fight club', which took place at the Adventure Learning Center in St Louis, on his iPad.

The 10-year-old was among the older children in the daycare's next room.

In the footage, obtained by DailyMailTV's St Louis affiliate FOX2, Some of them can be heard exclaiming 'Oh my god' when they see the younger kids fighting.

Where are the husbands in this story and why wasn’t an adult’s ass kicked?

For it to be decay, it would have to be a change from something that was better.

I grew up in the sixties and seventies.

This is the status quo.

The ONLY DIFFERENCE between then and now is the cameras.
That's it. Period.
In the sixties seventies children who told were punished by their parents or guardians because the adults did not want to believe.
If there were no camera, the ten year old here would have been punished for telling.

'There was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any laws were violated,' the St Louis Circuit Attorney's Office stupidest city attorney in the history of the world said in a statement.

How about contributing to the delinquency of minors for starters?

Do you think she might consider removing her kid from that environment?

My Dad told me to take on the
Neighborhood bully when I was 8
or 9 ,
he was 12.
“50 cents for each punch,”
The Old Man hollered out
the kitchen window on a
bright Sunday morning.
He gave me 3 bucks and I’ve
always felt He shorted me.

My 2cents.

CNN’s Acosta: “this next story is appalling. Trump’s rhetoric is resulting in fight clubs springing up In Daycares countrywide. Blacks against whites, Jews beating Muslims...this is Trump’s America”

No dad would be upset by this.

“Sorry, I’m just not so outraged by this. “
_________________________________________

I imagine you made the choice to enroll your sons in Karate classes with them knowing you were going to be sure nothing happened to them, right?

I mean, if one of your sons is crying after having 3 sets of fight with another boy, you’d be approaching him to what...tell him to ‘boy up,’ and ‘get back in there and kick *ss?’ Something like that?

First, the parents were not aware of their children providing the ENTERTAINMENT for adults.

Second, the parents were not aware of their children being used as punching bags for other little boys or girls who perhaps may have been used as PUNCHING BAGS at home and in turn would take it out on their friends.

Third, the children themselves didn’t understand this was going to turn into a HIT ‘EM TILL THEY DROP to the floor event.

I am not amazed at the way boys play. They play rough.

Boys need healthy outlets for their energy.

It is appalling, however, to see adults getting true enjoyment from the ENTERTAINMENT VALUE of little boys hitting other little boys until they’re on the ground and then keep pummeling them.

It makes one wonder exactly how many men in the world were abused as youngsters and don’t think it’s all that bad...

Like Communists who have a chance at freedom and are reluctant because they want to see the young set of folks suffer under what they suffered...

The ‘Well I survived it, so can you,’ mentality.

Face facts, men and women. These were not little boy playing fighting....

They were the gladiators for the adult entertainment.

And other adults seem to not have an issue with it.

Untrue. 4 is inappropriate to be exposed to this. And when boys are exposed to combat, it should be dads teaching, not female care givers.

Well, I guess I can’t say yes or no to when you grew up. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s ..but as to where you grew up....it wasn’t anywhere near my experience.

Were you even in the USA? We’re your parents normal?

That’s an unexpected response,
But I’ll take it.
I am still trying to
Get right with Jesus.

Intended or not, what you said had depth and meaning.

As for Jesus, such a horrific sacrificial death most assuredly paid for whatever sin you (may) think keeps you from Him.

Morgan’s besides women’s obsession with careers which men usually call jobs

People want a bigger home quicker and better vacations and fancy cars

So her working brings that

Women need validation and security

I looked at the tape

It looks like those big puffy gloves

Doesn’t bother me much but I’d want to know they let them box

I’ve always kept 16 ounce folded mitt and round mitt gloves to sort things out outside

I’ve got three boys ...12....15....18

The two oldest.

But honestly my 27 year old daughter is pound for pound most dangerous...for a girl..she’s fearless and punches fast and from down low

Like that cheerleader girl in Kali last month

Unless there is a lot more than to this story than what I saw on television this morning, this is a big nothing. Little kids with fake nerf style boxing gloves hitting each other? Give me a break.

Some shrill snowflake mom is the one calling it a "fight club."

What I saw was a big nothing.

On this you are making sense and I agree with you. This is a big nothing made into a "something" by a hystrionic kook snowflake mother.

Tempest in a teacup.
