A 44-year-old teacher was sentenced by the court of Como to one year and 10 months in prison with parole as long as she undergoes a training course.
The story began four years ago when the parents of some children who attended a kindergarten had reported it. In particular, a father who had gone to pick up his little son at the exit had noticed a red cheek. Asked for explanations, the little boy replied that the teacher had slapped him "because sometimes we are naughty".
During the investigation, the agents of the Flying Squad had set up, without the teachers' knowledge, a camera inside the kindergarten and the 44-year-old was filmed carrying one of the students out of the classroom holding him by the ear. In addition, screams had been recorded at the children who were forced to sit in silence and motionless at the counter for several minutes.
The teacher has always denied any accusation and during the trial a letter was deposited with about ten parents who defined her as a good teacher.
