Daycare Horror: Toddler Tied Up and Gagged in Brazil

A three-year-old child was tied up and gagged at a daycare center in Duque de Caxias, Brazil. The parents, Nicólas Rosendo Máximo and Natália Conceição Nogueira, were horrified to discover a photo of their bound and gagged son. "Imagine seeing your child tied up, with tape over his mouth," Máximo stated in an interview. The daycare worker responsible has been fired, and the daycare director is facing disciplinary action. A police investigation is underway. This incident follows a similar case in Niterói, where a six-year-old child was left alone for six hours on a school bus. The mother, Tharsila Coelho, expressed her outrage and fear for her child's safety. The police have opened an inquiry into both incidents, highlighting the need for increased oversight and safety measures in childcare facilities. The penalty for child abuse in Brazil can range from one to four years in prison, depending on the severity of the injuries.
