Obviously they failed at creating anything remotely 'safe and secure'.
I mean a few simple rules should suffice, like "if a child falls and shatters their leg, staff should immediately call the parents and the ambulance".
In any non-trivially sized organization there will be some people who are "bad". You can't expect any organization to perfectly filter them out since you don't know what people will do in all situations. Even having "rules" doesn't mean they will be followed.
The district fired them - which is the correct and appropriate thing to do.
While I agree with you in a general sense, the fact this occured in an educational setting with children would seem to indicate staff should have a hightened sense of compassion and the needs of the kids, and therefore wouldn't sit around eating lunch and giggling while a child writhes and screams in pain on the floor for 2 hours.
Yes - I accept that. I'm saying the administration is not necessarily at fault here as you implied (I assume that is the "they" you were referencing since it was the school district statement you replied to). And especially since they did the Right Thing once this came to light.
Won't somebody think of the parents who will have to foot the bill? /s
