MANASSAS, Va.—A second day care teacher was convicted of child cruelty and other counts Thursday for abusive behavior — including stepping on toes and feeding kids Flamin' Hot Cheetos — toward a classroom of 2-year-olds that a prosecutor described as a “baby fight club.”
Kierra Spriggs, 26, of Woodbridge, was convicted on four counts of felony child cruelty and two misdemeanor counts of assault and battery after a two-week jury trial in Prince William County. The jury acquitted Spriggs on 14 counts, and the judge threw out three misdemeanor convictions for contributing to the delinquency of a minor because he said prosecutors failed to introduce evidence that Spriggs was over the age of 18, a necessary element of that crime.
