Ohio day care workers charged after 5-year-old endures 'extreme bullying,' police say

COLUMBUS (WJW) -- Two employees of a day care in Ohio were arrested after failing to stop the "extreme bullying" of a 5-year-old girl in their care, police said.

Emma Dietrich, 31, and Joshua Tennant, 27, were charged Tuesday with child endangerment, according to a Columbus Police report.

A video of the August 13 incident at the Worthington Learning Center shows the two employees sitting at a table, watching as a group of students start "grabbing, pulling, dragging, swinging, and just 'bullying'" the girl, according to the police report.

The girl "appears frightened and keeps her eyes closed or covered and attempts to curl up into a fetal position," in the video, the police report said.

When she tried to get away, the other children grabbed her and held her down, the report said.

In the video, Dietrich and Tennant "do not attempt to stop" the bullying, police said.

At one point in the video, Tennant picked the girl up "by her right ankle," carrying her upside down to place her on a rug, the police report says.
