Two day care workers in Ohio have been arrested after they were caught on video doing nothing as older students bullied and assaulted a “frightened” 5-year-old girl, police said.

Video footage obtained by detectives in Columbus showed Joshua Tennant, 27, and Emma Dietrich, 31, making no attempt to stop several kids from taunting the girl at the Worthington Learning Center on Aug. 13, police said.

The pair was busted Tuesday on misdemeanor counts of child endangerment — after admitting they refused to stop the attack as a twisted form of discipline, according to court documents cited by WCMH.

“In the video, the older students are grabbing, pulling, dragging, swinging and just ‘bullying’ [the girl],” police said in an incident report. “She appears frightened and keeps her eyes closed or covered and attempts to curl up into a fetal position.”

This had me seeing red. Five year olds are virtually helpless in defending themselves.
This is why my kids go to a Montessori with an open door policy for every parent that passes a background check. I can, and do, pop in multiple times a week to help in my kids classes. Most of the parents there spend hundreds of hours volunteering throughout the year.
The only thing my five year old complains about is one of his two teachers asking where his lunch box is on the days he has hot lunch. The second grander hasn’t had a complaint once in three years.
You can’t do sneaky shit, or employ scum bags, with dozens of parents in the building at all times.
 
So you pass a simple background check and have free reign of the whole school? That honestly doesn't sound that safe either.


Yep. Been working without a hitch for the last 8 years. It’s not as if adults are alone, one on one, with kids. We have our own adult-only bathrooms that children are not allowed into. We also have a relatively small student body so everyone is on a first name basis.

It’s also the only school where my mom was made to be escorted to the office and show her ID when picking my kid up when no one on campus knew who she was. Out of her 15 grandkids, spread over multiple states and decades, no school before ours had ever questioned her identity before releasing a grandkid to her.
