(ANSA)- Varese, December 6 - A teacher at a nursery school in
Coquio Trevisago in the Varese area has been suspended from her
profession for six months by a preliminary investigative judge
on charges of mistreating children between the ages of a few
months old and two years old.
The woman was alleged to have screamed at and insulted the
children and at times slapped them and left them alone when they
were in crying fits.
The probe began after one child started having nightmares and
problems relating with others.
The woman allegedly insulted the children by calling them
names, including one used for people from disadvantaged rural
areas, and said such things as "you are disgusting".
Carabinieri police said that the woman had been mistreating
the children since 2017 and had done so at least 20 times.
