A Texas daycare worker has been arrested after security footage allegedly revealed her to be carrying out a horrifying pattern of abuse against several toddlers.
Catherine Guziejka, 44, is accused of physically assaulting a total of six two-year-old children more than 100 times over the course of several months.
She faces six counts of injury to a child with the intent to cause bodily harm,
The alleged abuse at Punkin' Doodles Day Care in Lindale, Texas, 200 miles north of Houston, has been described by authorities as 'calculated and deliberate'.
It was only uncovered after a daycare employee reviewed security camera video last month and discovered the alarming behavior.
The footage sees Guziejka kicking a defenseless two-year-old boy in his lower back as he lay on the floor.
Shocked by what she saw, the unnamed employee told the boy's father, who immediately contacted the Smith County Sheriff's Office.
What investigators discovered next was even more disturbing. Hours of security footage allegedly showed Guziejka targeting toddlers in a systematic campaign of cruelty.
She was seen kicking children in the back, standing on their tiny hands, pulling them from their beds while they were napping and dragging another by their arms to a changing table.
In several instances, Guziejka allegedly forced children to stare at a wall instead of a television while aggressively holding their heads down during diaper changes.
Guziejka had been employed at the daycare since September 2023 with the abuse occurring between July and October.
She was fired immediately after the assaults came to light after Melanie Dawn Law, who owned Punkin' Doodles Day Care, reviewed the footage.

I agree 1000%. we have daycare here that takes them at 6 weeks.
You gotta be kidding me! why would you even have a baby if you are not going to take care of him/her?
Wait till grade K to go back full-time. JMHO.
Any woman or man, hurting children, is pure evil. Rotting in prison would be too good a life for any woman or man harming children. May karma come to her in every way spiritually possible.
