A parent's worst nightmare: Nursery assistant caught on camera abusing toddlers and SMOTHERING one with a blanket to force it to sleep in Spain. Worker Esther S. B caught on secret camera at Annunciata School in Spain Footage shows her roughly putting one child inside blanket upside down She then sits on open end, trapping the youngster inside to get it to sleep Another part of footage shows her kneeling on child while force feeding it A nursery worker in Spain has been jailed for four years after sickening video footage showed her kneeling on one child while force-feeding it, and smothering another with a blanket to get it to sleep. The woman, named as Esther S. B, was caught after suspicious employers at Annunciata School in Gironella, placed hidden cameras in the nursery to catch her. In one part of the sickening footage she can be seen throwing one child, aged around one year old, into a cot, before pulling the blankets up over its head and sitting on them. Shocking CCTV footage from the Annunciata School in Gironella, Spain, shows one nursery worker abusing children aged around one year old, including smothering one with a blanket (pictured) While trying to get the child to sleep, the worker, named as Esther S. B, throws it upside down into a blanket sealed at one end, then sits on the opening while talking to another member of staff (right) Because the sheet only opens at one end the child is trapped inside, while Esther casually chats with another member of staff, who ignores the abuse. In another section, the carer is watching the children eat, when she notices that one child, again around one year old, is not having their food. She then begins berating the child while laying the youngster on its back, and after a few seconds the infant begins struggling. Not to be deterred, Esther instead kneels down on the child, before forcing food into its mouth in front of the other children. The shocking images, captured between November 14 and November 18, 2011, were released by the Catalan News Agency after the woman was sentenced at the Criminal Court of Manresa, Barcelona, earlier this week. The footage, shot in 2011, was released today as Esther was jailed for four years by a court in Barcelona, while another teacher was given an 11 month suspended sentence for failing to stop the abuse She was also fined €90,000 (£65,000) in compensation to be split between the two families of the children featured in the video. According to The Local, the member of staff seen talking to Esther as she smothers the child in a blanket was also convicted of acting as an accomplice after failing to stop the abuse. That woman, who has not been named, was given a suspended sentence of 11 months in prison.
