That kind of thing can have a big impact on kids. I'm gonna assume they're gonna need to heal from that :/
That was a dumb move on those women's part for their own self preservation. They're probably gonna get fired and may face some sort of legal punishment.
And also geez, what were they expecting? Sometimes older kids can take a scare, but not every kid either by all means.
It's not even close to ok. It seems fucked up because it's just totally fucked up. You can't even give them the benefit of the doubt. I think it's normal and healthy to want to scare kids but only in the sense that you want to teach them the ways of the world or make them more resilient. Like I've seen bearded dads shaving their face and scaring children, and that sort of thing I think may be normal, even if it's more for the parent's entertainment. Or like, you toss a kid up in the air, or you make a scary face but then you stop and reassure them. Just really mild stuff that teaches you about taking risks, or learning boundaries, or cognitive functions like object permanence.
It's just weird to me to think that these women made this dumb, life altering choice...blithely traumatized all these children...like what kind of bubble did they live in? They're so removed from reality.
