Erin Burke, a former daycare worker at Newton Discovery Preschools, was charged following an investigation into child endangerment and simple assault of a two-year-old boy in Bucks County, United States. The preschool said Burke was dismissed from her position following the incident, describing her alleged conduct as unacceptable. Busico said Burke immediately informed her director about the incident, arguing that her decision to report what happened demonstrated that she did not intend to harm the child as a daycare worker in Bucks County. According to ABC News, some residents also condemned the alleged incident, saying childcare workers have a responsibility to remain calm when dealing with children. Adrianna Ventura of Levittown said the incident should not have happened and urged childcare workers to seek assistance rather than lose their temper.
