Ohio Daycare Workers Charged After Teacher Sits By As Aide And Students Abuse 5-Year-Old Girl

Last week, daycare employees Emma Dietrich and Joshua Tennant, were tried for child endangerment after assisting students in the assault of a five-year-old student.

Dietrich, 31, and Tennant, 27, were aides in the same classroom at Worthington Learning Center.


In a video released by the Columbia Police Department, multiple students can be seen surrounding a five-year-old and assaulting her.

Police said:

"In the video, the older students are grabbing, pulling, dragging, swinging and just 'bullying' [the girl]. She appears frightened and keeps her eyes closed or covered and attempts to curl up into a fetal position."

One of the older students brought the five-year-old into the classroom and led her to the group of students who would perform the attack.

The five-year-old girl visibly tried to get away, but she was held down by one of the other students.

Dietrich and Tennant could both be seen in the background, sitting at a table and observing the scene. Tennant was eventually the one to step in---but not to help the five-year-old.

Later in the video footage, Tennant can be seen picking up the five-year-old girl by her left leg and right ankle, carrying her upside-side, and putting her back on the carpet were her tormentors were.

In reviewing the school's tapes, the owner of the daycare, Lisa Rowe, was "heartbroken" at what she saw in the footage. Rowe immediately fired Tennant and Dietrich, and forwarded the tape to child protective services for investigation.

Both Tennant and Dietrich were arrested and tried for misdemeanor counts of child endangerment after admitting they did not step in. They admitted to performing a convoluted approach to "discipline."

The Columbia Police Department released information about the investigation on Twitter, where individuals shared their opinions about the attack, and the need for a child-abuse-specific database.





Those at the Columbia Police Department are keeping the investigation open at this time. There are still questions about what led to the assault, and why the five-year-old was brought to the classroom, that remain unanswered.

Some onlookers hope for Dietrich and Tennant to be tried for more than child endangerment. Others hope they will be placed on a list where they will never be able to work with children again.

Whether or not these actions occur remains to be seen.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
