A New South Wales childcare worker has pleaded guilty to recklessly wounding a four-year-old boy. The educator had been attempting to put the child to bed for a rest at a day care centre in the state's central west.
00:00The 24-year-old former child care worker pled guilty to the charge in the Bathurst local court today.
00:07The agreed police facts say the 24-year-old was trying to put a four-year-old boy down to rest on a bed in a daycare centre in Bathurst in mid-August.
00:15But they say that the child was wriggling and was obviously trying to evade the woman's efforts of putting him down for a rest.
00:21So the woman grabbed his arms and quote, used considerable force in putting him down on the stretcher bed.
00:27But in the meantime, his head hit the plastic corner of the stretcher bed and caused a two centimetre laceration.
00:33Now, the documents say that this wound immediately started bleeding and was bleeding onto the bedding.
00:38But it says that the childcare worker didn't realise he was injured and continued to restrain him for another 53 seconds while the child was crying and kicking his legs in distress.
00:48Once the childcare worker realised he was injured, she immediately sought first aid and took the child out of the room.
00:55Now, a short time after that, the four-year-old's father came to pick him up from the centre and took him to the Bathurst Base Hospital for an assessment where his head was medically glued.
01:04On the day of the incident, the childcare worker was stood down and the following day, her employment was terminated by the childcare centre.
01:11About a month after that in September, police officers attended the woman's home and arrested her and charged her with recklessly wounding the four-year-old.
01:19Today, in the Bathurst Local Court, we heard she pled guilty to that charge.
01:23We also heard that they expect the sentence to be fast, where she will be returning for that sentence next week at the Bathurst Local Court.
01:30And that's why she won't get to table school based on the school.
01:34There's no mute and difficult call.
01:40Once again, we say that we know she is not a normal.
01:43But thecciones are Await at the bathroom at the bathroom.
01:45She has to be nothing about the bathroom.
01:46She made the bathroom.
01:48She is a nun, she has to be an arouset of water, and she has to be able to make the bathroom.
01:51The bathroom is up in a classroom that has to be able to make the bathroom.
01:52The bathroom is not a thing, she.
01:54The bathroom is a natural, and she can put the bathroom in the bathroom without too much
01:55and the bathroom is able to make the bathroom at the bathroom.
