The charges allege forced feedings and assaults of kids at a Vineland child care center.

Authorities have filed child endangerment and neglect charges against five daycare workers who are accused of assaults, forced feedings and aggressive restraining of kids in their care.

The alleged abuse came to light when a parent saw bruising on her son’s arm after picking him up from the facility, authorities said. She took the child to a hospital and the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency opened an institutional abuse investigation, court documents indicate. Emmaliz Torres, 20, of Millville, was allegedly seen on camera “grabbing and contorting” a child’s hands and fingers on multiple occasions, smacking, grabbing and squeezing children’s hands and fingers, “back handing” a child in the head, and “restraining” a child’s head or hands “to force feed him,” according to her affidavit.

Green is charged with four counts each of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and fourth-degree cruelty and neglect of children, along with three counts of fourth-degree endangering another person. The charges stem from alleged conduct involving four children. Torres and Gil are each charged with five counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and five counts of fourth-degree cruelty and neglect of children, stemming from alleged conduct involving five children.The center has since closed its doors.

A Gateway spokesman would not say why it ended the partnership, but noted that the agency worked with parents to find alternate childcare.
