Perhaps working with a roomful of little kids everyday is not the best choice for a woman who easily looses her temper and lacks a good portion of patience.
Unfortunately, a 28-year-old downstate woman apparently didn't consider those things when she took a job at a Harrisburg daycare center.
Christi Bailey put hot sauce on the tongues of young children she wanted to discipline -- at least four children in a four month period at the Little Angels Learning Center, prosecutors say.
Bailey was sentenced Friday to spend a year on probation and pay a $1,000 fine as part of a plea bargain in Saline County.
Attorneys for the state dropped several of the original charges against Bailey, but their prosecution on one count of battery accusing her of dragging a child by his arm was enough to convince the court of the worker's guilt.
Authorities said the woman also grabbed a child and slammed her into a chair, and dragged a child into the daycare's office while squeezing his arm.
