Teachers sacked after ‘encouraging toddler Fight Club’

As CBS2’s Christine Sloan reported, investigators said the former day care workers – Erica Kenny, 22, of Cranford, and Chanese White, 28, of Roselle – referenced the movie “Fight Club” as they encouraged preschoolers and kindergartners to fight each other on the playground at Lightbridge Academy in Cranford last month.

The August. 13 footage includes group melees and one-on-one battles, just like grown-ups Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in the film about a secret boxing club – which apparently inspired the violence, prosecutors said. In the video, children aged 4 to 6 were seen hitting each other and pushing each other down.

I left New Jersey three years ago and, in the absence of my watchful eye, it became America’s Sodom and Gomorrah, waiting for whatever God may exist to pass his or her judgment and burn the city to the ground.

I’ve said it before and will say it again: Some parents already have a hard enough time trusting others outside of a loved one to watch their kids. “You can’t trust anybody”.

“We don’t believe there were any serious injuries at this point, but we are still investigating the case”. “I hope these very bad people get what they deserve”.

The Lightbridge Academy in Cranford, New Jersey, has now dismissed the employees. The actions of these two individuals do not reflect the culture of Lightbridge Academy and what we have stood for more than 18 years.

The center said it was “shocked and saddened by this isolated incident”.

‘We terminated the employment of these staff members and have maintained open communication with our parents throughout this process’. “Whereas we’ll proceed to completely help and help the Prosecutor’s Workplace, we stay targeted on the schooling and well-being of all youngsters in our care”.

“We sincerely thank our mother and father and devoted employees for his or her help and endurance”.
