Child Abuse Allegations Surface at Madrid Nursery: Employees Arrested
Staff members at a Spanish nursery have been arrested following allegations of child abuse. A whistleblower revealed that children were reportedly forced to eat and subjected to choking by the accused individuals at the Madrid-based facility.
Authorities have initiated a formal inquiry into the incidents that occurred at the Cascanueces nursery in Torrejon de Ardoz, near Madrid.
Whistleblower Unveils Extent of Nursery Abuse
Nicole, a student who captured video footage of the disturbing actions β including an instance where a toddler was violently slammed against a wall β has now disclosed the full scope of the alleged mistreatment.
Initially, according to Nicole, nothing appeared out of the ordinary. However, the former employees β all currently under investigation β allegedly displayed abusive behavior during lunchtime.
“Before entering the dining area, the children would begin to cry, anticipating the mistreatment,” she recounted to Spanish news channel Antena 3.

“They would coerce them to eat, they would choke them, and physically grab them aggressively.”
Disturbingly, the whistleblower added, “They threatened children as young as one year old, saying they would be forced to consume food from the floor.”
Video Evidence Sparks Outrage and Investigation
The distressing video evidence, shared with the whistleblower’s mother, Carol, before being passed on to the media and law enforcement, has provoked widespread condemnation. Parents and officials are demanding comprehensive answers from the nursery administration.
Nicole, the student who secretly filmed the appalling incidents, including a toddler being slammed against a wall, has revealed the full extent of the abuse allegations.
‘Before entering the dining room, the children would start crying, they would do many ugly things to them,’ the whistleblower stated.
Four staff members at the Spanish nursery have been arrested after video evidence emerged of a woman abusing a toddler.
The footage was discreetly recorded by a student during a work placement at the Cascanueces nursery in Torrejon de Ardoz, Madrid.
Graphic Details of Abuse Emerge from Video
The video depicts a female staff member seizing a young child and violently slamming him against a wall while squeezing his face.
“Don’t spit out your food!” she is heard screaming at the toddler, who is visibly terrified and crying.
“I’m so sick of you,” she continues to berate the distressed child.
The woman then repeatedly pushes the toddler’s head against the wall before turning him around, pinning him to her lap, and forcibly feeding him.
“If you spit it out, I will put it back in,” she threatens the child, adding, “If you vomit, you are f***ed.”
Adding to the gravity of the situation, another staff member is visible in the background, apparently indifferent to the cruel treatment being inflicted.
Arrests and Nursery Closure Follow Abuse Allegations
Spanish police have confirmed the arrest of two employees for alleged child abuse. Additionally, two other individuals have been arrested for reportedly failing to report the appalling incident, according to a police spokesperson.
The daycare center has since been closed down. A group of concerned parents gathered outside the facility last Friday to express their outrage and protest.
The nursery worker filmed slamming a toddler against a wall reportedly complained about job loss in an expletive-laden outburst after release from custody.
The Cascanueces nursery remains closed following the child abuse incident.
Parental Distress and Concerns
Nancy, a deeply disturbed mother, informed Spanish news outlet Antena 3 that she has been unable to sleep, constantly worrying about the potential mistreatment her 18-month-old daughter might have suffered.
“Everything we have witnessed is indelibly etched in my mind,” she stated, expressing her trauma.
Nancy further revealed that her toddler had recently experienced a sudden loss of appetite. She now believes she understands the potential reason for her daughter’s eating aversion after seeing the disturbing video of a child being force-fed at the nursery.
Accused Staff Member Shows No Remorse
In a seemingly callous display, one of the women implicated in the egregious case appeared to exhibit no remorse when she arrived at court last Friday afternoon.
Speaking to an interviewer outside the Torrejon de Ardoz courthouse, the unnamed woman reportedly said: “It’s your f***ing fault. I’m on the street, I have two daughters to support and a mortgage to pay.”
