ffs, who loses their temper like that in front of kids? hope she gets proper help after this.
absolute disgrace. the teachers are already underpaid, understaffed, and now they have to deal with violent parents. what is this country coming to when you can't even send your kid to daycare without some loon attacking the staff. and the poor kids witnessing that, traumatised for life. I bet the sentence is a joke too, slap on the wrist. that woman should be banned from every early childhood centre and made to do hard time. bloody disgusting.
Wait, wasn't she the one who had a breakdown after being evicted? Still no excuse for violence though.
the children witnessing that… poor things. hope the workers are okay too, that's so unsettling
sounds like there's more to the story. mental health crisis probably. doesn't excuse it but the system failed everyone here
yeah nah get stuffed with the excuses. you don't assault people.

not an excuse, but the system is broken. she needed help before it got to this.
I heard the sentence was only 9 months home detention? what a joke. should be prison. what message does that send??
maybe home detention is right given it's a first offense? hard to know
9 months?! for assaulting two people in front of kids? that's weak
