Preschool director transferred after video shows her shouting at children in Ano Liosia
A video of the Ano Liosia 1st Kindergarten director yelling at pupils sparked public outrage, leading authorities to launch an administrative investigation and move her to another school.
Social media users circulated a video from the 1st Kindergarten in Ano Liosia showing the school director shouting at young children and hitting a 4-year-old girl after a chair was defaced with crayons. Bystanders attempted to protect the children, and the director later claimed she was attacked by parents, filing a criminal complaint that led to the child's mother being arrested and the father being pursued. The incident prompted a swift response from officials, who opened a compulsory administrative investigation and reassigned the director to another school.
The child's family and other parents have accused the director of racist behavior and excessive force, while also defending the broader local teaching staff. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the episode.
Why it matters
