Two women are facing charges after they facilitated a Fight Club-like atmosphere at the New Jersey day care where they worked.
Erica Kenny, 22, and Chanese White, 28, were arrested after they posted a video on Snapchat in August of a dozen or so children pushing and hitting each other on a playground while they yelled “Fight club!” in the background.

Though Snapchat videos only last 24 hours before being deleted, someone recorded the video and reported it to the police.
(Obviously they did not know that the first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club, or that the second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.)
“About a dozen children — boys and girls between the ages 4 and 6 — just fighting; throwing each other to the ground; hitting each other,” Grace Park, a Union County prosecutor, said. “Most parents would be astonished by the behavior.”
A prosecutor said that while no children sustained serious injuries, both Kenny and White are now facing child abuse charges.
They have both been fired from Lightbridge Academy, and are due in court Friday.
