Director of Christian Preschool Pulled Knife On 4-Year-Olds but Avoids Jail Time

Wow, that true xtian love is never-ending....

A woman who served as the director of a Christian preschool has admitted to pulling a knife on two children under her care and threatening to cut their fingers off.
This beacon of Christian morality is Adetokunbo O. Akinnaso, formerly the director of Dawn to Dusk Christian Childcare and Learning Center in New Jersey. She pleaded guilty to two counts of fourth-degree child abuse. Despite the serious charges, and the admission of guilt, the prosecutor has agreed to recommend probation and no jail time.

In an attempt to discipline two young children Feb. 28, Akinnaso put a steak knife into their hands and told them she would cut their fingers off and throw them in the trash if they kept misbehaving, according to authorities and a report by the Department of Children and Families Office of Licensing. They weren’t injured.
She was immediately removed from her job, a school district official said.
Raymond Moss of Plainfield, the father of one of the victims, is incredulous that Akinnaso won’t face more than probation for threatening children with a weapon. He also questions why Akinnaso is not facing weapons or threats charges, but said the prosecutor’s office told him the charges filed are the ones they thought they could prove.
Moss said his son, Elijah, is normally a “bundle of joy” but was traumatized by the incident and doesn’t like to talk about it. “As soon as we sit him down and try to have these conversations, he goes to another place,” Moss said in an interview in July.
​

This is pretty much the dictionary definition of child abuse. Unfortunately, unless more evidence comes to light, there won’t be any additional charges. (The office didn’t comment publicly on why other charges weren’t pursued.) That decision is questionable, though, given how another staff member witnessed the incident. It’s not like the charges are built solely on the allegations of children. However, as a first-time offender, it may have been an uphill climb for prosecutors to get more than probation in this case.

xtianity is sickening.

If she was a true Christian, why would the True Christian preschool fire her?

And if her actions comport with phands' imaginary version of true Christianity, surely all the true Christian parents send their kids to that school because they expect such true Christian discipline.


No, I think a better explanation is that "Director of Christian Preschool" doesn't necessarily mean "Christian Preschool Director".

In Australia, anti-religion leftists want to make it illegal for Christian schools to try and screen job candidates so as to ensure they ARE actually Christians. (Can't imagine why atheists would want to take such jobs. Hmmm.)

Hmm. Why should a teacher in any other subject than ”christianity” need to be a christian?
And why the fuck should religious schools be allowed anyway?

Once again, LIRC gets the footgun out, and lets fly. Pulling knives and threatening 4 year olds with dismemberment is "true xtian discipline"?????? Hoist with his own petard.
The only reason they fired that harpy was because they got caught...there was zero regard for the kids' wellbeing.
