A Philadelphia day care worker was fired after surveillance video surfaced Friday showing her smacking and pushing a child.
The Director of Olney Academy confirmed to NBC10 that the worker was immediately fired after the video surfaced on Facebook. In the video, the worker is seen approaching a small child, then swatting him.
The mother of the hit child, Brianna Woods, says she's glad the worker was fired. Her 2-year-old son Noah is seen falling in the video after the worker smacks him in the back of the head.
"I'm glad to hear she's been fired, but when I looked at the video myself I was wondering why she wasn't in cuffs," Woods said.
The director of the day care told NBC10 they followed protocol by immediately notifying the child abuse hotline.
Woods has filed a police report.
