ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Two St. Louis day care workers are facing felony charges after
preschool children in their care were encouraged to fight each other.
St. Louis prosecutors charged 28-year-old Mickala Guliford and 22-year-old Tena
Dailey with first-degree endangering a child. A summons was issued Monday.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports charging documents allege the two women
encouraged the fistfights on Dec. 7th, 2016. The fights, which were caught on
video, allegedly lasted 35 minutes and involved at least six children. The
children each had a padded glove on one hand.
One 4-year-old suffered a black eye and other injuries. Mothers of two children
are suing the Adventure Learning Center.
No lawyer is listed for the women, who have both been fired. In court filings,
the center has denied the claims.
