The police said that the alleged child cruelty on the two children, aged two and three, occurred on Thursday and was identified by a mother watching the live stream of the classroom.

“That parent-reported logging onto the camera system and seeing concerning physical contact between Alostwani and Briceno against several children in the classroom,” police said.
