    Minding of kids is big business it would appear.

    Lets hope parents recognised their kids and the 'minders' and report the incidents to the Gardai!

    It looks like it is on rte +1 if anyone missed it (as I did). I've set it to record anyway

    The one in the links creche needs jail time for throwing those kids

    The likelyhood of that happening in this country.... Slim to none.

    Token layoff, retraining then more of the same.

    Yes they are vetted but vetting means very little really. It just means that you haven't been convicted of anything. It doesn't mean that you're a suitable person to be working with children or vulnerable adults.

    Sorry should have qualified.....surely there can be some sort of vetting? Well hope some of these women have something inserted in their records - they shouldn't be NEAR babies.

    The one who was more or less assaulting the kids will have to go into hiding. You would recognise her if your child was there. Absolutely appalling. Should be jailed. Wouldn't be surprised if she is assaulted by an angry parent.

    Practically a grand a month to have your child flipped like a mattress. Very distressing.

    Distressing doesn't even describe half of what I feel watching this. Did that poor child that got shoved into his chair, hit his head off the table?
    Why are they so heavy handed with them? Absolutely terrible.

    Spot on. Some of them have serious anger management issues.

    I think the RTE reporter should have gone straight to the Gardai after witnessing that vile woman throwing small children around.

    They could have been seriously injured or worse. That woman should not have been left in charge of the children while RTE continued filming.

    I agree, there will be uproar tomorrow in the media.

    A witchhunt will start to find out who these people are.

    Some day you may very well be on the floor pi$$ing yourself and wearing a nappy in the distant future while some untrained carer mistreats you.
    Either that or you'll be left in a bed all day coverd in bed sores and malnourished while your children abandon you in some sort of care home.

    Society will be better when it realizes that our children need one parent at home not being brought up (or beaten up) by a girl who is paid 8 euro an hour and has a fuse as short as my little finger.

    Another problem i see every single day is people having kids as a matter of course and not really thinking out having to mind them and end up resenting them a hell of a lot....

    The Mammy Guilt will be palpable tomorrow at the creche doors....

    The woman throwing the babies should be investigated by the Gardai.

    Oonagh Smith and her undercover reporters have done good work here, even though it made for very distressing viewing.

    Can someone mention the location of that "links" creche?

    I want to ring the local garda station.
    I intend to report the assault.
    Just to make sure that this is on their radar and investigate.

    I encourage others to do the same.

    I totally agree

    Program has said that after she left a complaint was made to HSE
    It was obvious HSE are not checking often enough that they are under resourced
    Rte should have gone to guards ASAP
    I'm afraid rte did not go to gaurds so they would have more time to film fur the program

    Which branch of links childcare was she in? Surely she can be charged with assault

    Creches are a joke. Why would you leave your kids with a bunch of strangers?

    Some creches and childcare workers are bad. Equally so are some parents.
