flag An 18-year-old childcare worker, Hayley Kelleher, was convicted of breaching her position of trust after dragging a three-year-old boy three meters at a Bathurst, NSW, kindergarten on July 11, 2025, during a naptime routine. flag The incident, captured on CCTV, occurred when the child refused to lie down, and Kelleher, reportedly frustrated and without support, lifted and dragged him by the arm before placing him on another mattress, causing injury and tearing his jumper. flag Police deemed the force excessive, though the court corrected initial reports that she threw the child to state she placed him down. flag Kelleher admitted her actions, expressed remorse, and cited lack of assistance. flag She was dismissed and sentenced to an 18-month conditional release order. flag The case drew national attention amid heightened scrutiny of the childcare sector following an ABC Four Corners investigation. flag The kindergarten stated it maintains a zero-tolerance policy and cooperated fully with authorities.
