Two female nursery school teachers
at Fiumicino near Rome were suspended Wednesday for allegedly
mistreating the children in their care.
They are accused of issuing continual threats, calling the
kids "idiots", and punishing them excessively, such as making
them sit still in silence for long periods with their heads
resting on their desks.
The probe was coordinated by prosecutors from Civitavecchia.
The case is the latest in a long string of such incidents in
Italy.
