It\u2019s October, and that means Halloween for those who celebrate the holiday, said to have its origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain observed in ancient Britain and Ireland.<\/p>\n

For children in the US and other parts of the world, it\u2019s a chance to dress up in character costumes and go trick or treating.<\/p>\n

However, there are times when people take things too far. We get it, it\u2019s a spooky holiday intended to scare the little ones.<\/p>\n

But this latest incident got the whole online community riled up.<\/p>\n

According to The Associated Press, a daycare centre in Mississippi fired four employees after several videos surfaced on Facebook showing them scaring a classroom of toddlers while wearing masks from horror movie franchise \u201cScream\u201d.<\/p>\n

In one video, an employee is heard yelling at the little ones who didn\u2019t \u201cclean up\u201d or \u201cact good\u201d.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s even more disturbing are the children\u2019s reactions, with some screaming or running away in terror.<\/p>\n

After the incident was brought to the attention of state regulators, they decided to investigate further.<\/p>\n

!function(e,t,r){let n;if(e.getElementById(r))return;const a=e.getElementsByTagName(\u201cscript\u201d)[0];n=e.createElement(\u201cscript\u201d),n.id=r,n.defer=!0,n.src=\u201dhttps:\/\/playback.oovvuu.media\/player\/v1.js\u201d,a.parentNode.insertBefore(n,a)}(document,0,\u201doovvuu-player-sdk\u201d);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The owner of the daycare centre, Sheila Sanders, told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that she only became aware of the videos last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one came forth to tell me it happened in September,\u201d she said after finding out another video was made as recent as last week Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people that did those acts are no longer with us. They were fired. I wasn\u2019t here at the time and wasn\u2019t aware they were doing that. I don\u2019t condone that and never have. I just want to say it\u2019s been taken care of,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

One of the employees, the one seen wearing the mask, has now come forward, claiming other staff members coerced her into doing it.<\/p>\n

The woman behind the mask, referring to herself CeeCee, attempted to explain her actions in an emotional 19-minute clip uploaded to Facebook in the wake of losing her job, the Express reported.<\/p>\n
