Villa Constitución Nursery Closed After Abuse Videos as Parents Reject Director's Apology

Families question the message’s sincerity while the site remains under preventive closure during an active judicial investigation.

Overview

  • Three auxiliary staff filmed the incidents after consulting a lawyer, saying they needed evidence to report alleged mistreatment by teachers.
  • Municipal authorities ordered a preventive closure of the Manitos a la Obra nursery as officials review suspected irregularities.
  • A judicial case was opened following the complaint, and the whistleblowers say they have not yet been summoned to testify.
  • One video shows a teacher grabbing a baby by the arm and pushing her to the floor before another teacher carries the crying child away roughly.
  • Director Milagros Capella posted a video accepting responsibility, identifying the child as her niece and offering refunds, which many parents publicly rejected.
