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.
