Bariri City Hall fires daycare workers suspected of attacking 2-year-old child

The case came to light at the end of April, when the municipal administration preventively removed three employees to investigate the complaint.

According to the disciplinary committee's investigation, the attacks were carried out by a child development assistant and a caregiver, who ended up being fired for just cause.

The third employee investigated, also a child development assistant, was considered negligent for failing to act to prevent violence. Because of this, she received a 30-day suspension as punishment.

In the warrants issued against the trio, the MP alleged that the women carried out repeated physical and psychological attacks against the child while carrying out their duties, consisting of slaps, pushes, pulls, immobilizations and abusive physical restraints.

According to the Public Ministry's complaint, the suspects also encouraged other children to attack the victim, which caused bodily injuries and intense psychological suffering, characterizing the crime of torture-punishment. At the time, the agency pointed out that the arrests were essential for the progress of the investigations.

g1 questioned the Penitentiary Administration Secretariat (SAP) about the updated prison situation of the three women, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report.
