JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The state has suspended the licenses of two church-affiliated day care centers.

Former director Joshua Palin is charged with molesting ten children, some of them during what investigators say were twisted games of Truth or Dare.

At the centers, children were allegedly sexually assaulted and forced to eat worms, pick each other's noses and smell each other's feet during employee-led games of "Truth or Dare."

Former director Joshua Palin is charged with molesting ten children, some of them during what investigators say were twisted games of Truth or Dare. He is the son of the affiliated church's pastor.

Palin was originally charged last month with molesting two girls. He's being held on bond.
