Kierra Spriggs encouraged 1-year-old children under her supervision at the Minnieland Academy in Woodbridge, Virginia, to fight, the jury found.

Spriggs was acquitted of 14 other charges, according to court records.

Spriggs and Jordan were arrested in November 2013 after the state’s Child Protective Services and local police started looking into allegations of abuse at the daycare center.

During her trial, witnesses testified seeing Spriggs stomping on children’s bare feet, dunking them in cold water and throwing them.
