I didn’t think it could get worse than racing small dogs.
First rule of baby fight club is don’t talk about baby fight club.
Second rule is don’t video baby fight club.
I saw the headline and that was the first thought that went through my head too. I though of “Toddler Fight Club”, while you said “Baby”, but the rest was about the same. I appreciate your sick sense of humor, very, very much. Nice work.
We don’t have enough sources of entertainment in our society?
Should be taken out and publicly flogged.
Proof that sometimes life imitates Eric Cartman.
Dover, Delaware? Was Joe Biden involved?
Comment #3/WALTC is spot on. Public flogging, followed by stocks
Hey, it takes a village… remember, these are childcare professionals who know more than raising your kids than you do according to Democrats.
Make them fight each other.
On pay-per-view.
Please schedule ticklers every year to update the world of where these folks are, so they never oversee kids again.
There is a disease about in the land and these three are but carriers.
Vaccinate your kids against it and hope it dies off.
This story is terrible. However, as the grandparent of two toddler boys (cousins), the title of the post seems “off” somehow. Our little guys willingly go at it sometimes (biting, pinching, sitting on heads, kicking, etc), and we have to force them to STOP fighting!
