Two preschool teachers in Georgia were arrested this week on allegations of child cruelty that was captured on a classroom livestream, police said.
Zeina Alostwani, 40, and Soriana Briceno, former teachers at Parker-Chase Preschool in Roswell, were arrested and charged Monday with first-degree child cruelty, Roswell police said in a statement.
The alleged physical contact between the teachers and students, ages 2 and 3, occurred Thursday and was seen by a parent monitoring the livestream, police said.
â€œThat parent reported logging onto the camera system and seeing concerning physical contact between Alostwani and Briceno against several children in the classroom,â€ police said.
The video, which is slightly more than a minute long, was provided to NBC News on Wednesday by police.
It shows several children sitting around a circular rug. The video appears to record one teacher stepping on a childâ€™s hand for several seconds and then kneeing a second child in the back.
It also appears to show a second teacher, who is on all fours, getting extremely close to a childâ€™s face and poking the childâ€™s forehead with a finger. The child who was poked is the same child who only moments earlier was kneed in the back by the first teacher.
