ST. LOUIS (AP)  St. Louis prosecutors have dropped criminal charges against
two workers at a day care center who were accused of facilitating a “fight
club” among the small children.

Tena Dailey and Mickala Guliford were charged in November with first-degree
endangering the welfare of a child after video surfaced from Adventure Learning
Center in December 2016, showing small boys wearing oversized green Incredible
Hulk fists punching each other. The video shows the two workers watching, one
jumping up and down in apparent excitement.

A prosecution memo filed Monday said the case was presented to a grand jury but
charges were being dropped due to “insufficient evidence.” The memo was
provided by Talmage Newton IV, Dailey’s attorney.

Both teachers were fired.

Mothers of two of the children have filed a lawsuit.
