A nursery worker who smeared food waste in the face of a child under her care has been sentenced to five months in prison. Helen Walker, 49, of Watson Avenue, Mansfield, committed the act on 24 February 2023 and subsequently attempted to cover up her actions.
Walker, who worked at a local nursery, was seen on CCTV scooping up leftover food scraps and pushing them into the face of a toddler who has additional needs. The footage showed the distressed child crying while Walker ignored him and then sought to shift the blame.
