Four employees at Lil’ Blessings Child Care & Learning Center in Hamilton, Mississippi were fired after video of them screaming at and scaring children while wearing a Halloween mask went viral.

Wearing a mask from the popular movie franchise Scream, the daycare workers were allegedly trying to put a scare into some children who they thought had been “bad.”

After the videos went viral online, one of the daycare workers, who referred to herself as CeeCee, insisted the act was not “ill-intentioned,” and “wasn’t meant to harm anybody.”

She went on to say per the New York Post, “The teachers asked me if I would do it or if they could use (the mask) to get their class to listen or clean up. I’m not a child abuser.”

The Mississippi State Department of Health is working with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the situation, and both are working with the county prosecutor to see if there are any possible criminal charges that can be filed.
