Preschool Worker Charged in Child Abuse Allegation | California News

A former preschool worker in Pennsylvania is facing serious charges after surveillance footage allegedly shows her rough handling a two-year-old boy—including dropping him face-down, pushing his head into a pillow, and pulling him by the ankles—leading to scratches. Fired from Newtown Discovery Preschool, 27-year-old Erin Burke denies intentional harm, claims she reported the incident immediately, and says the day was unusually chaotic. The preschool’s CEO condemned the behavior as a betrayal of their child safety standards, while community outrage calls for accountability. Burke’s next court date is September 3rd; authorities urge anyone with concerns about child abuse to report it immediately.
