Woman arrested after bizarre and 'very disturbing' videos surface of children being abused and humiliated by day care employees
"An innocent child shouldn't have to go through that," the local police chief said. "Especially when someone puts little children in someone else's care."

A Louisiana woman was arrested over the weekend for her alleged role in a series of taunting humiliation and abuse incidents at a day care in the small city of Eunice, authorities say.
Alyssa Eve Dupre, 23, stands accused of six counts of cruelty to juveniles. She was arrested Sunday night and booked into, and then quickly released from, the St. Landry Parish Jail on $18,000 bond, according to Lafayette-based CBS affiliate KLFY.
Police in the area say more arrests are coming.
That footage is shocking and graphic.
In one video clip, a dark-haired woman can be seen throwing a slice of what appears to be cheddar or American cheese on the face of a baby strapped into a car seat, but not in a car, sitting next to a group of other children similarly confined. The single piece of cheese lands and stays on the child’s face and the woman doubles over in laughter.
In another video clip, an older boy is taped to a chair with what looks like clear packing tape. Additional footage of children scared and crying was aired by KLFY last week – an apparent response to employees intentionally using masks to frighten the youngsters.
