A nursery manager in Palma faced arrest on a charge linked to the mistreatment of young children under her supervision, specifically two- to four-year-olds. According to police sources, the allegations include physical harm and punitive actions described as spoken sentences, which allegedly involved restraining or pinching the children and using duct tape inappropriately. The person was detained yesterday afternoon and released after appearing in court today. Investigators have collected multiple statements from witnesses and potential victims in the case as part of a broader inquiry into the care environment at the facility.
The investigation began after police received several complaints from former staff and parents. They described a pattern of mistreatment that affected children enrolled in the daycare. Eyewitness accounts reportedly included accounts of physical and psychological aggression, with claims that some children were pinched, restrained with tape, or left in uncomfortable situations, including being confined to a closet or small room while distressed.
The inquiry is currently being handled by the Family and Women Unit (UFAM), which has been recording statements from parents and former employees and pursuing various investigative steps. On a recent afternoon, authorities detained the caretaker as the alleged perpetrator of grave abuse within the family context. The following morning, the individual was brought before the police court and subsequently released pending further proceedings.
