METRO REPORTER - 22nd March, 2010 A nursery manager forced babies to eat their own vomit and amused herself by deliberately overfeeding one large child, a court heard on Monday.
Laura Pettitt is alleged to have slapped crying children around the head and forced a dummy into one child’s mouth so hard the infant’s gums began to bleed.
She also called an Asian baby ‘Joe Daki’ – rhyming slang for the offensive term ‘Paki’, Croydon Crown Court heard.
Pettitt, who was said to intimidate other ‘inexperienced’ members of staff at Little Star’s Nursery in Bromley, south London, was finally reported to the NSPCC by co-worker Nicola Fiddler.
The 27-year-old claimed the ‘malicious allegations’ were made up when colleagues found out she was a lesbian, prosecutor Tana Adkin told the court.
Pettitt, from Beckenham in south London, denies ten charges of child cruelty between January 2006 and November 2008. The trial continues.
