A Bronx daycare worker has been arrested on child pornography charges after he was allegedly found with images of a child he was supposed to be looking after.
Police said Silfredo Castillo Martinez worked at Lina's Garden Day Care for more than a decade and was arrested for possessing multiple images depicting child pornography.
Computer crime investigators suspect Castillo Martinez has been dealing in child porn since July 2011, when he first began working at the center.
He lives in the same building as the day care center, state records show, with the capacity to care for 12 children between 6 weeks and 12 years old, as well as four additional school-aged children.
One of the alleged victims which appears in video footage in possession of Castillo Martinez was a 12-year-old who attended the daycare center, authorities said.
'It’s sickening. I trusted him. I really did. I’m astonished. My kids have been in his day care for years,' one parent with children at the center told The Daily News. 'My son really loved him. He was in his after-school program, in the back. Every child in the day care loved him.'
A hand written note now hangs on the front door of the center, declaring it temporarily closed.
His license was suspended on May 5 and he is being held on $300,000 bond or $100,000 cash bail.
'He was in charge of the children in the back. Until this, it was the best day-care program we ever had,' she added.
The parent's children were were interviewed by the Administration for Children's Services but they don't believe they were involved.
Officers charged Castillo Martinez with promoting and possessing a sexual performance by a child.

It is not normal for men to teach grade school or work in child care. We used to know, expect and accept this.
Want to avoid these kinds of things? Get a brain, use some common sense. Don’t be stupid.
My spidey senses would tingle just upon seeing this fat pig. I’ d never leave a child with him. Anyone would be stupid to do that.
Men used to be the people who did everything. Women almost never did any of those things you stereotype as womanly work until a century ago, when they finally allowed it.
So, I don’t totally go with that reasoning.
Risky with toddlers? Perhaps. But school kids would’ve been normal to have males teaching.
NEVER EVER EVER have a MALE LOOK AFTER YOUR KIDS....NEVER EVER!
Fair trial.
Speedy hanging.
Use piano wire.
L
Guilty.
YOU ARE KIDDING!! NO REAL MALES WOULD EVER TEACH 1ST THRU 4TH GRADE!! ICKY!
No way I’d let my child go to a daycare center with males working there.
And the “qualified” Ketanji Brown “judge” says...?
That she's still not sure what gender it is.
Ah, another hispanic. Diversity’s our strength. /s
What does race have to do with it? Perverts of all races should be given a free millstone and a trip to the beach.
My third grade teacher was a man and a former Marine. But I’ll be sure to tell him he’s not a “real” man.
Exactly and worse is she (Ketanji) is soft on child porn..
wood chipper go BRRRRrrrr....
Hey!
It’s NYC...
Why the big surprise?
My 1st grade had a male teacher.
In the very old days, school masters were male. Yes, that included youngsters of primary age.
Sorry, there is little historic precedent for all your prejudices.

Tie his fat ass to a car and drag him.
He ruined kid’s lives forever.
“Until this it was the best day care program we ever had” OMG you can’t make this stuff up, been going on since 2011 but has been the BEST day care program they ever had!!
How many YEARS ago was that?
The above reads to me like he was running it out of his apartment?!
What did the cops and social services know and when did they knew it?
For this to go on for 11 years, I'm wondering if people were paid off to look the other way.
I guess you’re right. After hearing that shooter’s mother needing a translator to defend her POS, now the 2A is under attack because of someone who’s family is questionably in this country at best. Yea, I’m pissed.
