Here's a follow-up to a story Daily RFT brought you early last month. Latonya Davis, a 21-year-old mother from the 4800 block of Bessie in north St. Louis, has been identified as the person who posted a video last month of two toddlers fighting on Facebook.

Police have identified one of the kids as Davis' daughter and the other as a boy she was babysitting. Both kids are under the age of four.

"Ahh, shi*. Got some action! Got some action!" Davis yells as the children begin punching each other in the face. "Ya'll better ball up some fists! Hit back!"

Yesterday, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office named Davis as the defendant in the case and charged her with two counts of child endangerment.

Defendant was so proud of what she had done, that she then posted a video of the fight to her Facebook account.

I wonder how many other people recognized the name.

I had a nurse friend who used to work in a maternity ward. Teflon and Sizzlean were two of her favorites.

My wife and I knew we forgot to give our kids something, QUALITY TIME with a daycare person who swears. We forgot to give them 'interesting names', too.

I hope they will forgive us.

Maybe her husband was working late at the office when she posted the video.

The kid must be adopted. No one could get drunk enough to get that pig pregnant.

Know the place well. Hard as hell to do surveillance in there.

That's what I think too. He was burning the midnight oil putting the finishing touches on a power point for a major international client the following day.
