The ABC understands the educator was allegedly observed by the childcare centre grabbing the child by the neck and head, repeatedly smothering his face with a cot mattress and pillow, pulling his head back, hitting him on the head, putting her foot on his face and kicking him across the floor.
She was also allegedly seen at various times shaking him, throwing him onto a beanbag, lifting him by one arm, mock punching near his face, throwing a playpen at him, and forcefully pushing and throwing him down while he slept.

Why wasn't she stood down after the first instance? Yo have access to this child for multiple days for these incidents to occur seems like a pretty big failing of the childcare centre.
