Three people were arrested on Thursday after videos of toddlers at a West Rand crèche being slapped and hit, including at least one child with a broom, were shared on social media.
Parents were fuming after seeing what had allegedly happened to their children at the Myne Maatjies daycare centre.
Police spokesman Col Lungelo Dlamini confirmed to TimesLIVE on Thursday evening that three people had been arrested on allegations of assault.
This was after several statements were taken from parents and witnesses, Dlamini said.
He said that investigations into the alleged abuse at the Myne Maatjies daycare centre started on Thursday.
“A hard drive has also been seized for further investigation. More info will be provided as the investigation develops,” he said.
TimesLIVE also confirmed that the department of social development in Gauteng was investigating.
