Tracy Owens and Rosie Hicks were charged with child abuse for giving a child rice doused with habenero hot sauce. A video was found of the incident showing the baby in apparent distress and they daycare workers standing there laughing. But soon after they gave the baby water. Rosie Hicks was charged with 2 counts of child abuse after she confessed to making the baby fall by pulling the table it was leaning on away from it.
I think that this is horrible! there is no excuse for this!

I dont think someone should be charged with giving a child hot sauce, but the day care workers shouldnt have just stood there laughing. If they saw that the child was distressed, then they should have given water to the child sooner.
This is ridiculous. Hot sauce, seriously? That's sad. I also don't understand how stupid they are to take a video of that and have it somewhere where people can see. And obviously they aren't mature enough to have a baby or take care of a baby if they think its funny to do something like that.
That's really horrible. a baby isn't a play thing. it's not funny when you make it fall or when you give it hot sauce. they should realize that they were doing this to a new human being and not a cute little toy
How could someone do this to a baby. I'm glad they are getting charged. They deserve whatever is to come to them. That is just wrong!
There is definately no excuse for her actions. I think that she should be locked up for a long time and never allowed around young children again. It just goes to show you that daycares are not always safe and you should be extra careful where you send your kids!
Why would you give a baby hot sauce!! That's seriously not right. I am glad they are being charged! That's horrible!
That is horrible how could someone do this to an infant and now this child's parents are going to have problems finding a new daycare that they aren't scared he will get attacked or hurt like this and the people who did this had no reason to do this even if she is really stressed out.
thats terrible. Honestly though if this women confused to also moving a table that a child was leaning on. I wonder what she has done that she is hiding!
thats stupid why would you do tht to a baby YOUR OWN BABY! people these days have not since.poor baby
That's so terrible why would some one do that to an innocent child that didn't do anything to deserve it!
