An investigation found that Cosme “caused injury” to the five 2-year-old children — three girls and two boys — on Dec. 1 at the Children’s Learning Place in the 3100 block of West Fullerton, authorities said. An assistant in the room with her at the time allegedly stood idly by, laughing with Cosme as this was taking place. "Each of the child victims winced and some whined at the hot glue gun application," a prosecutor said, adding that Cosme tried to apply neosporin to one of them after she saw circular burn marks starting to appear.Later in the day, in what appears to have been an effort to cover up what had happened, prosecutors said Cosme asked the father of one of the burned children whether the child had been injured at home. Cosme was denied bail at a court appearance Monday, according to Cook County Sheriff’s Office records. During Monday’s hearing, Cosme’s defense attorney said Cosme’s actions were not malicious, according to ABC7. Cosme, who had 16 children under her care, was captured on surveillance video applying the glue gun directly to the hands and arms of five 2-year-old children.  Lizandra Cosme, 32, of Chicago
