Two female teachers at a daycare center have been fired after video posted to Snapchat showed them playing with a penis-shaped sex toy in front of children under their supervision.
In the video, the women laugh and play with the large phallic object at multiple locations inside of a daycare room filled with children. They simulate sex and masturbation with what appears to be a beige dildo. At one point, the penis-shaped sex toy is handed to a young child, as one of the women drowns in laughter.
The two fired teachers at Superkids Child Care in Chandler, Arizona have not been identified, but parents were alerted to their dismissal by way of the following letter released by SuperKids management on October 10. It reads:
It has been brought to our attention that some teachers behaved inappropriately yesterday at our child care center. We immediately contacted the police and state authorities about this incident. Police are currently investigating the incident and we will fully cooperate with them. We are in the process of informing the parents about the incident. The teachers involved in this incident have been terminated effective immediately.
That letter does not reference the video. Many parents became incensed after being shown exactly what happened by local news media.
KPNX 12, the area NBC affiliate, showed the unedited video to multiple parents, including Raina Lee, whose child attends SuperKids. She said, “That could be my kid and if it was, I would probably be in handcuffs right now, not talking to you guys. They should definitely go to jail and be prosecuted. That’s sad the kid is in the video, all over the internet.”
Another parent who spoke with ABC15 said she would be pulling her daughter out of the daycare center due to the events in question.
SuperKids claims to have immediately contacted local and state law enforcement upon learning about the video, which was brought to the public’s attention by a former boyfriend of one of the women in the video.
Chandler police are investigating the incident and said the women in the video may face criminal charges.
