The Star Tribune is reporting that two former staffers have been charged with felonies after they were allegedly caught on video abusing three babies at the “Small World Learning Center,” a Blaine daycare.
The video captured one of the providers grabbing an infant by her upper thighs, hip and groin area, and then violently flipping the baby back and forth from her stomach to her back, according to the criminal charges.
“[Her] arms are flailing outward, and her body is consistently rigid as her face contacts the floor mat repeatedly as she is being flipped and her head is unsupported,” the criminal complaint says.
The video shows that the other provider, “picked up an infant and slammed the baby onto a support pillow. (She) then picked up another infant and forcefully shoved the baby onto a changing table.”
Medical reports indicated that one infant had bruises in nine locations that are consistent with excessive gripping or squeezing, according to the Star Tribune, while another baby had a leg fracture.
