This case is a little different from Baby P’s case where qualified social workers failed to identify that the toddler was been brutally “tortured” by its mother and stepfather, this new child abuse case involves a nursery worker who was sexually assaulting children by touching and penetration, as well as posting photos of the children under her care on the internet.

Police arrested Mrs Vanessa George 39 after seizing a computer disc from a suspected paedophile in Manchester, after analysing the contents of the disc police found indecent images of children taken at Little Ted’s Day Nursery in Plymouth which then lead them to Mrs George, who has been working there for the past two years.

Mother of two, Mrs George is being charged with seven offences, including two for sexual assault by penetration and two of sexual assault by touching.

It makes me wonder why a mother of two does such things to other children. Would she like that done to her own children? What goes through these peoples mind?
