Hamilton, Miss., is located in the state of Mississippi. Four people are facing charges of felony child abuse, and a fifth is facing two counts, for their roles in the Mississippi day care video. There are no charges against the daycare's owner. At least four employees were fired after the video came to light, according to her. There were two videos posted on social media. A day care worker in northeast Mississippi is wearing a Halloween mask like the one in the movie "Scream" and yelling at children who don't clean up. The children can be seen cowering in fear and running from the masked employee. An employee tells which children have acted well or bad. The employee in the mask is screaming in front of the kids. Four of the women face felony child abuse charges, according to the sheriff. The fifth woman is accused of failing to report abuse by a reporter and simple assault against a minor. The mask was used to scare the kids into doing what they were supposed to be doing. The district attorney and the prosecuting attorney met with the children's parents about the case. A judge issued warrants for the women after at least one set of parents signed felony child abuse complaints. There are five people in the area. Three people are accused of child abuse, according to the sheriff's statement. A 44-year-old woman is accused of failing to report abuse by a mandatory reporter and simple assault against a minor. Bond was set for McCandless, Kilburn, and Newman at a hearing. She wasn't required to post bond because of the charges she faced. It's not known if any of the people facing charges have lawyers who can speak for them. The mother told ABC News that she was shocked by the videos. She said her son is showing signs of trauma and has trouble sleeping through the night. It is not a laughing matter. Their behavior was not acceptable even if they had a mask on. The blood pressure went up. I felt bad for my child. She stated that she was angry. The felony charges will be presented to the grand jury in order to determine if there is enough evidence to indict the person. This is where we are and it is a shame that it happened. People will hopefully learn from it. A community can be torn apart by it. Everyone who was a part of it was familiar with one another. Our job is to cut through the emotions and find the facts and present them. That's right. The story was first published in October of 1992. The name of one of the women charged was incorrect.
