State: Day Care Kids Forced To Eat Worms, Smell Feet

If the sexual abuse allegations are true, they should, of course, throw the book at this guy. The truth or dare stuff sounds pretty tame, the kind of stuff kids would do on their own. I do wonder how far the one lady lifted her shirt. If she only exposed her belly, I don't see a problem. If she exposed more, that would be inappropriate.

Homeschooling is a good thing.

Ecce homo.

pick each other's noses

The exception proves the rule.

[Michael.SF.]

Call me Mr. Skeptical on this one, at least until it plays out.

pick each other's noses...

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose...

and at this day care center, you have to pick your friends' noses.

Whether the molestation charges are true remains to be seen, but clearly here are a couple of people who have really boogered up their resumes....

[My2Cents]

Reminds me of a youth leader in the church of some friends of ours who use to use flatulence as a bonding method.

You ever wonder if something is creepily wrong with Florida?

[ExcelJockey]

No s**t? Color me very creeped out.

[Darkwolf377]

Sounds like a slow night at the Kennedy compound

[Cindy]

Yep.

[Enterprise]

Pull my finger?

Oh, darn. I missed out. In my childhood, I never picked someone else's nose, smelled their feet or dined on any worms. I live such a sheltered life.

Seriously, all the pigs involved in this perverted Fear-Factor-for-Kids crap need to go play a new game of truth or dare on a very high bridge somewhere.

Little kids are gross. Do you have any idea how many times I had to spank one of my boys for wiping boogers on their sisters? Their high pitched screams would just about pierce my eardrums. I'd run to where they were and those boys, rolling and laughing up a storm...till they saw me.

[TommyDale]

I have read all I can find about this story, but nowhere is the church or the daycare center actually named. What are they hiding, and why?

[Huntress]

In my childhood, I never picked someone else's nose, smelled their feet or dined on any worms.

Maybe you did, but you were too young to remember it. ;-)

[Bon mots]

That boy don't look right...

Little kids are gross.

No kidding. That's why so many of them get a hoot out of 'Dirt 'n Worms', the dessert made with Gummi Worms & crushed Oreos. Being the mom of two boys (i.e., having a high threshold for gross-out), I'd have to argue that real worms are nutritionally superior to Gummi Worms. Boogers/ runny snot ceased being a problem at my house after we adopted a Sheltie puppy. That dog saved me a fortune in Kleenex. And my kids' feet were almost always a lot cleaner than their grubby little paws were. ;)

[billclintonwillrotinhell]

No, I definitely think I'd remember stuff like that! (Although I do remember reading a children's book for school that was titled, "How to Eat Fried Worms.")
