A boss is not a big brother, and you're talking about adults not kids. My older brother routinely gave me "indian burns", noogies, and "why are you hitting yourself attacks". It's normal. Doesn't mean an adult should or could do it.

She wasn't frightened because she knew it was her big brother trying to scare her.

It's not the same thing at all. Not at all.

They should be fired and punished and their names and faces made public. Absolutely disgusting -- using their power over those poor TODDLERS. I sometimes have no hope for this world.

And any issues and the little one cries for mommy and in no time mommy comes to the rescue. The kids in the daycare probably called their mommies over and over again, but no one came to their rescue because the adults suppose to be the source of comfort and protection were too busy terrorizing them. If a parent put their kids in a daycare, they are putting their trust on the adults there that they will not harm their kids in anyway. Daycare workers should know how wrong it's to horrify kids.

100% agree.

When I was 2 years old, my dad used to put a sheet over his head and scare me. I don't remember it myself, but my older sister does. She remembers how scared I was.

As you can see, I grew up to be a normal person, although as a child I was afraid of the dark. Probably a result of being frightened. I don't think my dad wanted to hurt me. I probably didn't want to go to bed, and he scared me that if I didn't go to sleep, a ghost would come and take me away.

Would this same little girl laugh or be scared by a "trusted" day care worker doing the same thing? She would "know" the day care worker.

Some children would laugh, some would be very scared. Not all children are scared of these horrid masks. In this case, with me just reading the comments on this thread, it appears the story is about children who were scared.

I definitely agree that she should have been fired. She has no business working with little kids, but a lawsuit? Seriously?!

What are the damages? So, being mean to people and hurting their feelings merits a lawsuit? I've had mean bosses, I was bullied as a kid, and there are some unpleasant people in my family. Should I sue them because they made me feel bad?

I'm sure most people here that have big brothers would agree with me. Or you could watch The Goldberg's or any number of sitcoms that feature siblings.
