Five women stood trial in Monroe County Justice Court on Friday in connection with a viral video showing children being scared by someone wearing a mask at a daycare in Amory, Mississippi.<\/p>\n
After a grand jury declined to indict the former employees of the daycare on felony charges some of the parents whose children attended Lil\u2019 Blessings Child Care and Learning Center in Hamilton filed misdemeanor charges.<\/p>\n
The incident, which showed children crying in terror, garnered national media attention last October after a trio of videos made the rounds on social media, showing an employee at the daycare running around the building in an off-brand “Scream” mask.<\/p>\n
In the footage, the masked employee chases after the children, shouting, “You best be good!” and “Clean up!” at them as they run, hide and cry in sheer terror. Another employee can be seen telling their masked coworker which kids were good or bad — at one point telling her, “They’re supposed to be cleaning up, monster!”<\/p>\n
