On Monday, two Georgia pre-school teachers were arrested after parents witnessed the teachers abusing their children on surveillance video.
Earlier this month, the alleged abuse was reported by a parent to the Roswell Police Department after one parent became concerned about her child’s safety at the school.
According to a news release from the Roswell Police Department, the parent reportedly logged onto the school’s camera system and noticed “physical contact” in the two teachers’ interactions with multiple students in the classroom.
“I just told my husband, I said, ‘Call it mother’s intuition.’ I just want to see if he’s OK,'” Barghi told WSB-TV. “I pulled up the app. I picked it up right when the lead teacher was assaulting the first victim. It was intentional. It was thought out. It was malicious … these are defenseless little kids.”
“They had no policies in place. There was no, ‘If this happens, these are the procedures we go by,’ to the point that I had to demand that the teachers were removed from the classroom.”
She said, “And we would not leave until they were removed. The director even looked at me and questioned, ‘So you want me to remove them?’ And I said, ‘You better believe it. Remove them now.'”
