Transgender Kindergarten Worker Accused of Child Abuse After Witness Says

A Kentucky daycare worker who is male but appears to identify as female has been charged with child sexual abuse.

Maria Childers, 25, will appear in court on March 23, according to WPSD-TV.

Childers was arrested on February 8 and charged with first-degree sexual assault on a victim under the age of 12.

Although Childers appears dressed as a woman in his booking photo, McCracken County Jail lists him as male. He was jailed pending $100,000 bail.

WPSD said the incident occurred in November at the Explore Training Academy in Paducah, where Childers was working at the time, according to police reports.

It wasn’t until February 8 that police received word from the Kentucky Department of Community Services about the abuse complaint filed against Childers. The complaint was anonymous.

WPSD reported that a police statement said that a witness at the kindergarten confirmed the details of the report.

The kindergarten principal served Childers with a written disciplinary notice of his comments, WPSD said, police said.

According to the quote, Childers was questioned by the police and gave conflicting accounts of what happened.

Childers initially denied changing the baby’s diaper until he was shown a statement from the principal saying he did. He denied touching the child inappropriately and making inappropriate comments.

The case sparked outrage on Twitter.

Personally, I don’t think men in women’s clothing should be hired as caregivers.

Why wasn’t the director arrested for failing to appear?

Thought

In 1990, a male applicant calling himself Mary in a blue dress would be immediately dismissed by everyone as absurd and perverted.

Has public recognition of such behavior made society a better place in 2023? I would like to see detailed reviews and research on this.

The website Reduxx said it did a social media hunt for more information about Childers, but found only a Facebook image of him dressed similarly to the character from Alice in Wonderland.

In its report on the incident, the Post-Millennium said that Childers’ status at the daycare was unclear as he was being sent to face charges.
