Four former Mississippi day care center employees face charges after they were seen on camera using masks, similar to those used in the movie series "Scream" to scare children.

The incident happened on Oct. 4 at Lil’ Blessings Day Care Center in Hamilton, Mississippi, where the day care center employees can be seen wearing the "Scream"-like masks while several children were visibly frightened and crying, according to Fox affiliate WLOV.

At several points in the video, the former employees can be seen screaming at the children. One person can be seen chasing a toddler while wearing the mask.

"Put up the toys! Put them up!" one person can be heard saying to the children.

Police said Hutson was not linked to the videos, but she knew about the incidents and didn't report them.

The charges were filed after the sheriff's office and county prosecuting attorney met with parents of the children involved.
