Updated 4:16 pm, Wednesday, January 13, 2016

MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — A Virginia day care teacher who turned her classroom into what a prosecutor called a "baby fight club" has been convicted on more than a dozen criminal charges.

A Prince William County judge Wednesday convicted 31-year-old Sarah Jordan of Woodbridge on 13 felony and misdemeanor counts, including child cruelty, and assault and battery. She was found not guilty on four counts.

Jordan was the lead teacher in a Minnieland Academy classroom of 1-year-old children in Woodbridge.

Witnesses testified that Jordan intentionally tripped children, encouraged them to fight each other and sprayed them in the face with a hose.

1. bet it would be 24/7 screaming on Faux if she wasn't a pale face

2. My kids went to this facility

They were there and moved on well before this happened though. It's kind of surprising, because I always thought it was a decent daycare.

13. wow

I don't know what to say except wow. And, of course, I'm glad your kids got out of there safe and sound. I'm so sorry for the little ones who didn't.

I usually can't read stories like this because I know if itchad happened to my kids I would be in jail too.

7. There was a series in the Washington Post

about three years back a year and a half ago about daycare in Virginia. Here is one article.

In Virginia, thousands of day-care providers receive no oversight

The Post found there were at least 43 child deaths in such settings in the past decade in the commonwealth.

11. Wasn't this a plot for South Park once?

seriously

[lancer78]

21. The crack baby athletic association n/t

[jtuck004]

12. How many were black kids? n/t

[cali]

15. Wtf. What you did is sick. Paying a 5 year old to trip people? Sick.

[LisaL]

16. And on the ice, no less. Where a child can get injured if he or she falls.

The mind boggles.

[cali]

18. Pretty jarring post. Incredibly tone deaf aside from.everything else.

[trillion]

20. I think you missed the point, the 5 year old was getting slammed to the ice and she was way littler

than everyone else. She wanted to quit skating because of it. While she was crying and wanted to go home one day, I said okay, but I'll give you a buck if you do it right back to that kid. That's how that took off. No it wasn't sick or cruel. I doubt she ever took out anyone who apologized for taking her out. She married a tribal cop and is a good mom now so I don't think it messed her up. Nobody ever did anything but get back up on the rink and start skating. It keep her in figure skating for over a decade past when she was a starter and they'd take her out.

[LisaL]

22. So your solution was to pay her to trip other children (or adults) on purpose.

And you think it's not sick or cruel? Somebody could have been seriously hurt.

[trillion]

23. Nobody got seriously hurt. And yeah, I can tell you've never figure skated. I come from a family of

skaters. your idea that every fall might be fatal is kind of ridiculous. I mean as an older adult that might be the case and I would suggest someone like that not step on a rink. They'll fall far more on their own accord. Taking out small children is worse than them taking out you though. I'm pretty sure she never took out any small kids, it was always people older then her - 8 or above. How do you feel about little league football where the coach puts a cheese burger on the other teams quarter backs head - meaning who ever takes him out gets a cheese burger? Now that I consider brutal. Happens all the time. I don't consider it the same thing.
