A student who visited a Spanish nursery has revealed horrendous atrocities perpetrated by the staff against the children left in their care.
Spanish authorities have already opened an investigation into the case, which happened at the Cascanueces nursery in Torrejon de Ardoz, Madrid.
The student, identified as Nicole, uploaded footage of the horrific incidents, which included a toddler being slammed against a wall.
Everything appears normal to a visitor at the nursery until the lunchtime when the employees who have now been sacked and under investigation – showed their true colours.
‘Before entering the dining room, the children would start crying, they would do many ugly things to them,’ Nicole told Spanish outlet Antena 3.
‘They would force them to eat, they would choke them, they would grab them.
‘They threatened one-year-olds that they were going to eat food off the floor.’
The horrific footage, which was sent to her mother Carol before being forwarded to the media and police, has left parents and authorities demanding answers from the nursery.
The video shows a female staff member grabbing a young toddler and slamming him against a wall as she squeezes his face.
‘Don’t spit out your food!’ she screams at him, as the terrified young child cries in despair.
‘I’m so sick of you,’ she continues to say.
The woman repeatedly pushes the tot’s head against the wall, before she turns him around and pins him down on to her lap and begins to force-feed him.
‘If you spit it out I will put it back in,’ she tells the child, before saying: ‘If you vomit, you are f***ed.’
The clip shows that another member of staff seen in the background was unfazed by the cruel treatment.
Spanish police have arrested two employees for the alleged abuse of a child, while two others have been arrested for failing to report the appalling incident, a police spokesman said.
The daycare centre has since been shut, with a group of parents gathering outside last Friday to protest.
One horrified mother called Nancy told Spanish news outlet Antena 3 that she has not been able to sleep and cannot help but imagine what awful treatment her 18-month-daughter might have endured.
‘Everything we’ve seen is engraved in my mind,’ she said.
Nancy also revealed that her toddler had recently experienced a sudden loss in appetite, and said that after seeing the shocking footage of a child being force-fed, she now understands why her daughter might have been refusing to eat.
However, one of the women involved in the horrific case seemed to show no remorse as she appeared in court last Friday afternoon.
Speaking to an interviewer outside the Torrejon de Ardoz courthouse, the unnamed woman said: ‘It’s your f***ing fault. I’m on the street, I have two daughters to support and a mortgage to pay.
