A secretly filmed footage of a nursery worker hitting a young boy while he sleeps have been released. The video shows an employee of the Children's Palace Learning Center in Florida, Kimberly Marie Reid, swinging a stuffed animal at a four year old boy while sleeping. The video also shows Reid lifting the young boy and tossing him back to the floor.
The cruel act was recorded by another co-worker, who then reported her to the Department of children and families.
The 41 years old Reid was later arrested on January 29th. In the case file reported to the police, Child Protective Services investigator said that naptime attacks had been happening in the past 3 weeks, but Ms Reid denied the allegation and said she was only playing rough with the boy.
Ms Reid is now charged with three counts of child abuse and held on a $3,000 bail. Her court case will start from February 22.
