Childcare in Harelbeke has to close after complaint about inappropriate punishment

According to that parent, children are punished inappropriately. Kind en Gezin therefore suspends childcare for 3 months. “This is a temporary measure that will give us time to investigate this serious complaint,” the agency said.

According to Kind en Gezin, the parent could present evidence of heavy-handed behavior and physical punishment of children. The parents of the 21 children who are being cared for there now have to look for another childcare.
