Parents firsthand witness daycare worker hitting 4-year-old on his head and throwing him to the ground multiple times despite the child being calm before the incident; charged

Last week, the 67-year-old woman, identified as Vivian, was arrested and charged with repeatedly beating a minor child she was taking care of for no apparent reason. The incident was caught on a surveillance camera, which was later used in the case as evidence.
