New Jersey's Toddler Fight Club

In 2015, two daycare employees in New Jersey were sentenced to prison for organizing a "fight club" involving children under their supervision. The workers encouraged and filmed physical confrontations among roughly a dozen boys and girls between the ages of four and six. Investigators discovered videos showing the children punching, kicking, and pushing one another while staff members watched and laughed. The case sparked outrage and ended with criminal convictions for the employees responsible.
