The parents then contacted the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office who began to investigate the incident.
Through the investigation, deputies discovered the worker, 34-year-old Leann Simon, allegedly grabbed the child’s arm and twisted it behind the child’s back then lifted the child off the ground by the arm.
She was booked Tuesday on one count of second-degree cruelty to a juvenile.
