Texas day care accused of filming fight club for 4-year-olds

A Texas day care is being sued by a mother of a 4-year-old after Family Protective Services showed her video of her son fighting with another child while being encouraged by a staffer at the facility, reports KHOU.
According to Heather Howerton, she felt something was wrong when she would pick up her 4-year-old son, Grayson, at Children’s Universe of Lake Conroe. “When he had injuries, I asked to speak with somebody. ‘Oh, she’ll give you a call.’ She never contacted me.” Howerton explained. Howerton received her answers when Texas Department of Family and Protective Services called her about a video of her son fighting another child that was brought to their attention after it was posted on social media.

That's horrific!! Utterly disgusting!

She is having to sue?!
Why is there not a criminal investigation?
Only in America

Reason for termination: Got Caught.  

It Harris County--Houston, TX--what do you expect?

Someone broke the first rule of Toddler Fight Club ...

More over reacting hyperbole by the press & a people after compensation. Where else would this kind of minor incident make headline news & involve lawyers & litigation?

A couple of kids indulging in a bit of pushing & shoving & a daft comment by an onlooker & now America is outraged.

God bless America.

Indeed, but those will be Americans in the jury box. Sounds like a wonderful way to make a little money. RWers should be proud of the entrepreneurial spirit.
