Two Ohio day care center employees have been arrested after they were caught on camera allowing a five-year-old girl to be bullied and one of them dangled the child upside down by her ankle in a sick ‘form of discipline’.
Emma Dietrich, 31, and Joshua Tennant, 27, of Columbus, Ohio, were employed at The Learning Center of Worthington where they cared for young students.
But the quality of their care has come into question after a shocking image showing Tennant holding a child upside down by her ankle in front of other students who were bullying her on August 13 surfaced.
The photo appeared to be a screen grab of surveillance footage from a camera placed in the room.
Dietrich and Tennant were arrested Tuesday and now face charges of child endangering. They’ve also been fired from the daycare center, according to WCMH. ……More Here
