A day care worker at a private charter school in Miami Beach has been arrested after officers reviewed video surveillance footage that appears to show her slapping, elbowing and twisting the arms of four toddlers.
Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez tells news outlets that Lincoln Marti Daycare worker Clara Luz Quintero-Gonzalez was arrested Thursday.
The 54-year-old Quintero-Gonzalez is charged with four counts of child abuse, and one count each of child neglect and torture. Rodriguez says all of the victims were 2 or 3 years old.
Officers were alerted to the situation last week when they responded to a fight an angry mother got into with Quintero-Gonzalez upon watching the footage. No one was arrested following that altercation.

It is a sick person, and should be purchased life sentence.
Easy she was to do what the children did not find a person of 54 years but did it as children, regret children if they are hurt and when everything is working and taking care of kids.

This is a job that typically pays a very low salary. So they have to accept less than desirable employees. As a society we need to get back to having one parent in the home, so the children are cared for by a family member. And today-with the use of computers-many stay at home parents could do part time work on internet.
