Kaitlyn Walls lost her new job at a nearby daycare center, before she ever started it. “I really needed it really bad,” she said. “I’m a single mom..trying to get out on my own. The 27-year-old was excited about working, but not necessarily as thrilled about the job. She posted on Facebook: “I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at day care.” She said people immediately started insulting her on social media. “I had all these girls attacking me because I don’t want to be around a lot of kids all the time,” The worst attacks have been removed, but some remain, including comments that call her a “dumb (expletive)” or saying she has “Bubonic Plague.” “I actually cried. It really hurt because I wasn’t trying to offend anybody.” Walls says the day care operators got wind of the post and told her not to bother coming in. “It really was a big mistake,” she said. “I don’t hate children. I have my own…I love her.” Walls says she was just venting. But that Facebook post has left Walls searching again for a new job. She says she’s learned a valuable lesson. “I’m not going to post anything like it ever. No matter how I feel.”
