Daycare Employees Charged with Child Abuse Felonies

Two employees of the Small World Learning Center in Blaine, Minnesota, have been charged with multiple felonies after surveillance footage revealed them aggressively abusing three infants. Chloe Kaye Johnson, 24, and Elizabeth Augusta Wiemerslage, 22, were seen violently flipping and slamming the babies, causing extensive bruising and other injuries. Parents had initially noticed unexplained bruises on their children, prompting investigations by police and the Minneapolis Children's Hospital. The daycare center is cooperating with authorities, and the accused have admitted to their rough handling of the infants. Local legislators, including Rep. Nolan West, are calling for increased surveillance and stricter regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.
