37-year-old Riffat Khalil was arrested and charged with three counts of cruelty to children.
These charges come after a parent contacted authorities concerning a shocking claim made by her children that were sometimes under the care of Khalil at Discovery Zone Kids in Evans, Georgia.
According to the mother, her children had returned home after spending the day at daycare and were upset by events that had transpired. The children stated their teacher (Ms.Kahlil) "made them fight".
Once authorities became involved, they reviewed the security footage of the alleged incident. What they viewed in the video was very incriminating and validated the concerned parent's allegations.
In the video, you can actually see Khalil forcing the two young siblings to fight each other physically.
The video goes on to show Khalil slamming one of the children into a chair and violently shaking the little girl after the fight. Kahlil is captured making the other sibling throw a chair.
The disturbing incident then ends when another staff member enters the room and removes one of the children.
After reviewing the footage, Riffat Khalil was immediately arrested. She was booked into Columbia County Jail and had a bond set at $75,300 which seems like an oddly specific number, and not nearly enough.
