Nursery teacher in Munich accused of mistreating children

A daycare teacher is on trial in Munich starting today (9:30 a.m.) for physical and mental abuse of children. The woman is said to have repeatedly beaten, thrown to the ground and humiliated small children. She is also said to have withheld food from the hungry little ones, among other things. She is therefore accused of mistreating those under her protection in ten cases before the Munich district court.

Accordingly, from April 2024 until the time of her release in July 2025, the educator was in charge of a group in which the majority were children between the ages of one and three. At irregular but increasing intervals she is said to have physically and verbally punished children against whom she had an aversion. The reason for this was partly the children's origins or lack of German language skills.
