I AM IN NO WAY CONDONING THE ACTIONS HERE. THIS OBVIOUSLY WAS BRUTALLY WRONG.

But.... what are the daycares supposed to do with these overactive children? I think they only thing that they can do is call the parent and kick them out. My aunt takes care of 4 children in her home (the max the law allows for children that age). Even with just 4 children it is hard. Particularly when one is acting out or over-active. One example was a 4 year old that my aunt knew was between two parents that were fighting all the time. The child became violent, hitting my aunt AND the other children. He would not listen to any orders like "pick up your toys" or "wash your hands before lunch". She had to turn to giving him sandwiches for lunch because if there was something like peas or mashed potatoes they would just end up on the floor. As a daycare provider you can't spank the children. I have heard her stories of frustration.... Soon thereafter the bad apple started ruining the whole bunch and the other children were acting out and causing disturbances, so she had to tell the parents not to bring their child back.
