Five charged after viral video shows day care worker scaring kids with creepy mask
The video shows an unidentified worker wandering around screaming and crying children in what appears to be a mask depicting Ghostface, the main villain in the 1990s horror film “Scream.”
A viral video showing a former Mississippi daycare worker scaring kids in her care while wearing a creepy mask has prompted child abuse charges against five daycare workers, NBC affiliate WTVA of Tupelo reported.
The video, which WTVA reports was filmed Oct. 4 at Lil’ Blessings Child Care in Monroe County, prompted an investigation by the Mississippi State Department of Health and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office days after it surfaced on social media, The Associated Press reported.

Sorry for your loss. Rush Limbaugh was a terrible person. I witnessed family members getting whipped up by his extremist and hateful rhetoric. He fed their hunger for outrage and victimization. He brought racism and crude insults out of the shadows and made this talk acceptable.

his death was the gift. it stopped him for continuing to hurt people.
good riddance.

The grand larceny happened on Tuesday at a Home Depot location in Hillsborough, located about 38 miles northwest of Raleigh, the Hillsborough Police Department said Wednesday.
"We need YOUR help in identifying this guy before somebody else gets hurt," the department wrote in a Facebook post.
Video shows the worker confront the hoodie-wearing suspect as he wheels a cart of Ryobi power tools out of the store. The suspect uses his arm to shove the elderly man, who falls to the ground and appears to hit his head on a flowerpot.

The worker appears to struggle to sit up and grabs his right leg as he remains on the ground.

A high school artist was chosen to paint a mural.
Then came the outrage
A student said she created the piece to make kids “feel welcome.” Some parents in Grant, Michigan, wanted the painting removed.
A mural painted by a high school student came under fire when parents alleged it was promoting LGBTQ imagery and witchcraft.
Earlier this year, a Grant, Michigan, high school sophomore won a contest “to brighten up” the middle school health center, according to a statement from Grant Public Schools (GPS). GPS says the student received approval to paint images of “smiling children” and as well as the message “Stay Healthy.”
In the painting, there are three children. A boy is seen in a light blue, pink and white T-shirt, the colors of the transgender Pride flag. A girl wears pink, royal blue and purple, the colors of the bisexual flag. And a second girl is in rainbow Pride colors.
GPS Superintendent Brett Zuver was a contest judge. He did not respond to an email asking if he understood the meaning of the colors when the student’s design was chosen as the winner. GPS said the final mural included “some features” that were not part of the agreement, including a demon face inspired by a popular video game called Genshin Impact, and a “Hamsa hand,” also known as the Hand of Fatima or Hand of Mary. The palm-shaped design has been a symbol for good luck or protection for centuries in many cultures, including Latin American.
