St. Joseph County Jail

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- A South Bend daycare owner faces multiple felony charges for alleged crimes against children.

29-year-old Tysharae Jones is charged with Battery with Injury to a Person Under 14 Years, Neglect of a Dependent Resulting in Bodily Injury, and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor - all felonies.

Investigators say the charges stem from alleged incidents captured on two videos inside Jones's home. Both have circulated on social media and allegedly depict Jones perpetrating and encouraging violence against children.

An initial hearing is set for October 26.

Below is an image of one of the videos that has circulated on social media. ABC57 has decided against presenting the video to protect the identity of the children involved in this case.
