According to the arrest report, the student was 3-years-old. The child’s parents noticed bruising on their arms.
They had seen similar marks on their child in February but were under the impression they were from another child.
When the child’s mother and father asked about the bruises, he said his teacher, Cynthia Foster had squeezed his arm tightly, which made him cry.
He said Foster, 57, also shook him.
According to Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, deputies interviewed several other children who witnessed the abuse.
According to the report, the abuse was the result of the child fighting, not wanting to nap during nap time, wetting the bed during nap time, or refusing to stay quiet during book reading.
A fellow teacher witnessed Foster’s behavior and reported what she saw to the principal.
Foster has since been fired.
