DOVER, Delaware — Instead of princesses and Elmo it was punches and elbows at a Delaware daycare center, according to police.

Authorities arrested three daycare employees, according to a CBS3.com report, after the women were captured on video watching and encouraging toddlers to fight while at the center.

According to the report, the women were charged with assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangering and conspiracy. In the video police say the women encouraged three-year-olds to punch each other.

The CBS3.com report claims that in the video one child can be heard crying and screaming, ‘He’s pinching me,’. 

One of the daycare workers then responds, ‘No pinching, only punching.’”

The daycare has had its business license suspended while the case makes its way through the legal system.
